Yes, but OpenOffice.org doesn't have a mail client, so it doesn't seem
right to include Outlook in the comparison.
Besides, there is at least one Linux mail client that can function with
Exchange as well as Outlook - Ximian Evolution with the Exchange
Connector. The downside to this is that the connector is proprietary
(though still cheaper than Outlook) and (I believe) it only works with
newer versions of Exchange.
