I think that's a very good proposition. Using both outlook 2007 and 
TBird 3.1.8 with the lightning calendar extension, I can say IMHO that 
the latter combination is better than Outlook in some areas, 
particularly calendar and task sharing with multiple computers via 
something like icalx.com.

On a different note, it's quite interesting to see that MS seems to be 
employing some dubious tactics with regard to the Home & Student version 
of Office 2010. That version is very attractive to home users because 
it's pretty cheap and can be installed on three computers.
However, what MS doesn't tell you is that it contains a TRIAL version of 
Outlook. Of course people think "Oh goody! I can use Outlook." Then 60 
days later, Poof! it needs to be purchased to continue using it, and if 
you have a version of Outlook prior to 2007, it can't use the pst file 
created by 2010!
