Please!

Absolutely loved those games and I would love to mix it up on XvT on my FiOS connection after playing it on dial-up back in the day

I agree. If you look at my posts above I had high hopes for evolution-mapi but it crashes on login :(

However I will say that using VirtualBox in seamless mode isn't too bad. Outlook sits on my desktop like any other app. I can take that pain more than I can take the pain of developing on Windows.

Actually using KVPNC I've had no issues with Cisco VPN connections.

I find it sad that Exchange support is still considered a "specialized need" :). Personally I wish Mozilla would add it to Thunderbird. T-bird is a much better mail client anyway. (IMHO)

That's weird. My Nvidia drivers upgraded with no problem.

I like the speed and the new interface. Both are very nice. I was really excited when I read there were improvements to handling multiple monitors and the evolution-mapi plugin that would finally let me use the office's exchange server. Sadly both have missed the mark.

I use the Nvidia driver which means the fancy new monitor settings are not available to me (it pops an alert that tells me I have to open the Nvidia utility). The good thing is I don't have to hunt for the utility, it opens it for me, the bad is the utility is mostly useless. X sees my two screens as one huge screen, which is fine when I have two screens but sucks when I undock the laptop. No way to switch to one screen without hand-editing xorg.conf

I've always had high-hopes for evolution and I don't know why because its always been buggy and slow. This time is no different: "We have REAL exchange support this time! I promise". Sadly while I was able to install the mapi plugin and it shows in my settings, evolution helpfully crashes when I try to login. There are bugs filed against it ...maybe it will get fixed ... someday

And no, I have no love for exchange but I'm forced to use it. I have used the evolution-exchange package that connects through OWA ... its slow and buggy. Often refusing to download my mail, losing the connection to "the backend process" requiring me to delete a certain file. All in all, not worth the hassle.

For now I'm stuck using Outlook in an XP virtual

I wonder how long until /. changes achievements to a lame word instead of the actual number :-D

Vim and Emacs users agreeing on something!?

Hell is freezing as I type ...

You know that there is a native vim and gvim for windows right?
