I think you mean a new distro which is mostly, but not entirely yet another a Ubuntu-derivative, which comes packaged with its own DE and related software.

And no, this new and perfect email-client will still not try to beat Outlook by managing both email and calendar at the same time. Go away!

Seriously... What are Linux Mint and ElementaryOS even thinking?

Realistically, about the same. Many of the problems with Windows are rooted in being developed by a huge corporation with as much budget and manpower as it has.

I get your point, but I meant that the open source community works because it can leverage on the work from each other. The achievements would be multiplied by the potential reach.

No, because everyone is busy doing its own little thing.

Well, that can't be used as an excuse for not being secure by default.
