*www.neowin.net/images/news/logos/mozilla.gifThe Mozilla Foundation is hatching yet another software project to challenge a key Microsoft title.

The new project, code-named Lightning, aims to integrate Mozilla's calendar application, Sunbird, with its recently released Thunderbird e-mail application. That integration is aimed right at the heart of Microsoft's widely used Outlook software.

"I think Outlook leaves a lot of room for a fast competitor," said a Mozilla volunteer involved in the project, who asked not to be named. "There's a lot of user dissatisfaction out there, and it will be interesting to see what the market looks like once there's a strong open-source alternative." After years of delays and miscues, Mozilla has made some market inroads this year with its Firefox Web browser.

There is already a Outlook clone for Linux existing. Its called Ximian Evolution :) I think they should release that one under Windows too. That would really heat up the competition :D
