Two new versions of free software were released today. Thunderbird 2.0 a email client for Linux, OS X and Windows; as well as Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).

If you are running windows and still using Outlook I would give Thunderbird a try. Definitely better than Outlook Express and Outlook 2000. If you are using Outlook 2003 or newer it is hard to say what is better, 2003 seemed buggy to me and I have yet to use 2007.

Ubuntu is perhaps the best “version” of Linux to replace Windows. They keep getting better and better with each release. If you are still using Windows, stop, Ubuntu is the way to go.
