The Mozilla Foundation is spinning off its open source e-mail client, Thunderbird, into an independent company. The new company, MailCo, plans to develop Internet communications software "based on the Thunderbird product, code and brand," Mozilla said. David Ascher, CTO of ActiveState, will lead the new mail-focused company. ActiveState is centered on developer tools and technologies such as JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby. Each time an open source community debuts business-usable software, a knee-jerk reaction is to ask: How many rafters will this rattle in Redmond?

I for one am proud to see this happen. What we need to see is something created, based on the Thunderbird platform, that will offer all the functions that Outlook does without having to download 5 apps to get the functionality that we currently use in Outlook.
I believe that there will come a time, when all the things like calendars, task lists, notes, etc will be built into Thunderbird and at that time will be a very viable solution for bsuiness communications.
