  1. My continued thanks to the developers working on this project goes out. How will Vista’s inclusion of a calendaring program affect Lightning if at all?

  2. I recently switched from Thunderbird and Sunbird to Outlook 2007 because of the very slow development of Thunderbird and Sunbird.
    I have used Thunderbird and Sunbird for over 2 years but I could not really see any progress. And I don’t believe in a HTML/Javascript Calendar. You need to much work for to less output. The whole mozilla architecture is crap. For example it’s quite ridiculous that they need so much time just to develop a bookmark management for firefox. And I’m sorry to say, Outlook 2007 is far superior to Thunderbird/Lightning.
