Evolution for Windows

evo.jpgThis weekend Evolution was released for Windows. Evolution is a popular email client in the Linux world, something I looked at when we rolled out the new Exchange server last year. Evolution accesses OWA to connect to the Exchange server, but has the look and feel of full-on email client. This is great for Windows users looking for an alternative to webmail when working at home. LifeHacker also notes:

Like Outlook, Evolution is an email client (which can work with Exchange server, cool!), calendar, task list and memo manager. Unlike Outlook, Evolution does not look at all like a native Windows app. Windows users looking for an alternative to an expensive Outlook license would do well to check out Evolution, but brace yourself for the beautiful open source ugliness.

The Win version of Evolution is for Windows XP only.
