Email may be integrated better in various products but won't be replaced any time soon, maybe upgraded. I totally agree with you John.

It does somethings very well but clearly the focus is on collaboration. If email were invented today, it would look more like TrulyMail. Here is a company which re-invented email. Sure they have few users but that will change with time. We all know the problems with email: You don't know if/when your messages are delivered, too much spam, your messages are not really private, etc. TrulyMail solves these problems. The only problem (or is it a blessing?) is that it is a complete replacement for email (it actually has nothing to do with email and uses its own servers). Their latest release includes integration with email to make the transition a bit easier for those of us who live in the real world. So, yes, Wave is great but I wouldn't consider it a replacement for email. It will make our lives easier but it won't replace the number one use of the Net.
