Open Source/Standards Applications
We know these well. We use them every day. We also use Microsoft products extensively.
This page is being overhauled, pardon our mess. It will refresh every 6 minutes as we work here.

Why you shouldn't rely on Google, Amazon AWS or Yahoo for your desktop/server-side functions:
Google Kills Desktop Search and Gadgets
Google To Shut Down 10 Products
Google To Rebrand Blogger & Picasa For Google+ Integration
Google Shuts Down more

WEB CLIENT APPLICATIONS Version
Mozilla logo n/a The road forward in Mozilla is to use Thunderbird, Firefox and Sunbird as shown below. Remove Mozilla Suite now and upgrade to FF and TB (with Lightning) and SB.
Firefox logo v12.0 Want even more from a browser? Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Firefox. It’s fast and flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla browser.

Newest FF Themes and Add-ons can be found at 
Latest updates for FF Themes and Add-ons can be found at

Themes: (how buttons look, etc.)  Many themes are pretty tiring, the recent default themes for FF are not very good. You can make FF look like FF1.5 by using the StrataStripe theme.


My installed Add-Ons

To make many things work in FF you will need Plug-ins:
Very nice VRML plug-in  (3D space viewing) not that important
The Most Important Ones   (without these you will be asked to install Java plug-in, etc.)
Thunderbird logo v12.0.1 Want even more from an email client? Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Thunderbird. It’s fast and flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla email client.
 
Direct access to Address Book without opening Thunderbird.
Create a shortcut and have it open:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -addressbook

Putting the Tabs back where they belong.... I  II  

Handy Extensions for Thunderbird:
enigmail – secure email between parties requires GnuPG
FoxClocks
ConQuery
Addressbooks Synchroniser
Lightning
 
Display Mail Route – very useful – proves that that “PayPal” warning came from Thailand!
Display Mail User Agent  - shows what software sent the message – often tells you that it was a bulk mailer and not an individual.
