It's free, and for me, does everything that Windows did, at times better. You can install it on a separate partition, and use WINE to actually run Windows programs from the other partition, if you absolutely need those programs. I don't miss Windows a bit. There are some programs that don't work on Ubuntu, like WebEx. Other than that, I don't miss Windows a bit. Again, I did it because I didn't want to be tied down to Windows and "buying" it.

I've been using FF3 since it was beta 5, and haven't had any problems thus far. There are certain things that are different, but you can customize the FF config to suit your needs. It does seem quicker. Have you tried Opera? Its small, and fast. As for FF3, I haven’t noticed much of a difference. I’ve been using FF3 since it was beta 5, and haven’t had any problems thus far.

Only makes Gmail contacts available over LDAP. Ideally, I think when you send an e-mail out, Gmail should use the recipient's address (from the sent mail) and put it in the contacts list - it does that when you do it through the web interface, but not when you do it through Thunderbird. Maybe submit an enhancement request to Google? Does not sync. Only makes Gmail contacts available over LDAP.

I was actually searching for a 2-way sync for Gmail & Outlook. Does this sync? Or is it only making Gmail contacts available over LDAP? This sounds great.
