The speed of FF, TB and OOo in Ubuntu Dapper is considerably slower that 
the same programs in Windows XP on my box. That was a great 
disappointment for me, since I was lead to believe that Linux was faster.

TB allows me to prepare templates which I use daily for letterhead 
stationery and mailings. TB allows me to insert or paste graphics. TB 
allows me to write in Hebrew. Evolution does none of these. It also does 
not have an audio alarm for appointments. That's pretty much what made 
me look into Kubuntu.
