If users switch from one program to another it is inevitable that comparisons will be made, just like with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

What next: A comparison of MS Paint to Photoshop?! They're world's apart -- not even intended for the same use! Thunderbird is great, but, even with Lightning (which provides only really basic calendar integration at the moment), it's not a PIM. Actually, that's exactly why I like it -- I don't need my email attached to my calendar, to-do list, notes, ...or anything else for that matter! I just need my email. If you want to do a realistic comparison, why not start with Thunderbird vs. Outlook Express, or the new (and actually very nice) WindowsMail (in Vista). Then, for round 2, you could compare Sunbird to WindowsCalendar, or Rainlendar, or whatever other scheduling program you like. Let's keep it apples to apples. That would be useful. Snane What a ridiculous concept — comparing Thunderbird + Lightning to Outlook. What next: A comparison of MS Paint to Photoshop?! They’re world’s apart — not even intended for the same use!
