You can choose whatever mailclient you usually use, such as Gmail and Hotmail (also local clients if you’re still running installed ones ;)). A good thing about this is that you don’t have to maintain a complete list of users in multiple locations - just pick them from your addressbook.

We realize that ThinkFree won't get anywhere by just replicating what Microsoft does. We chose to resemble the look and feel of Office so that users would not have to relearn a new application. And yes the screenshots were in XP because that is what I was using at the time. If anyone wants to donate a Mac I would be happy to use that as well. But, those are just the superficial things, and our beauty is more than skin deep. I hope you have had a chance to look around ThinkFree Online since the last time you tried us 5 years ago. We have added some great new features: collaboration, version management, blog and web publishing (including our DocExchange list of published files), rating, tagging, mash-ups with Flickr, del.icio.us, Creative Commons, and much more to come. And none of these have anything to do with Microsoft Office. In the end you are absolutely correct we need to do more. Our vision is to take the features and functionality people have come to expect in current industry standard desktop office applications and combine them with what the internet does well - bring people, services and ideas together. Thanks, Jonathan Leland,

Whatever your bitterness & resentments may be, why not look at the excellent product instead of beating Microsoft & any product that may slightly resemble MS. I am definitely not sticking up for MS, although they were a huge factor in getting the IT industry where it is today. Instead of being so narrow-minded, why not look at the positives of all and pick & choice FREELY! Microsoft is on the downslide. Novell, Apple, IBM surviving. Linux is on the uprise. So what! take the good & leave the rest. Stop the bashing & take all the time you have left to discover & correct some of your personnel flaws! Leland,

I thought ThinkFree was a Microsoft-independent product. But your screenshots are with Windows XP, and why do I see a shot of MS Office there? Oh, it's not? Sure looks like it. You're never going to make by simply apeing Microsoft, fellas. I tried ThinkFree about 5 years ago when you were just starting, and it's sad to think you haven't learned this by now...
