Now, see thwarts interesting Jerry, I guess it's all in what you like. I like the fact that Mac has their apps segregated into their single tasks. I've always hated how outlook tried to cram everything into one program.
I don't want my mail program to be my calendar program. If I just want to look at the calendar, I was to launch iCal without the bloat of trying to get my current emails down from the server wt the same time.
