approx 30 *nix users, 20 win users. Just about all of the *nix chaps
have stopped using Outlook and went the way of the gmail. Thus far
it's the accept/decline/share invitations and calendar events that are
not working between the two teams. I can understand the perspective of
the doze users though.... "it works when you use Outlook, all of our
mail is here on my laptop and I can organise my work as required....
blah, blah, Windowz, blah market share...."
