I think the moral of this story is to be as OS independent as possible...

-Thunderbird with the 'Lightning' extension gives you POP email and calendar with week views (available for Win, Mac and Linux).
-Open Office gives you all of the everyday functionality you should need (available for Win, Mac and Linux).
-Picasa (available for Win, Mac and Linux),

You should try dual-booting with Ubuntu.
-Evolution gives you Exchange access and colour email filtering (Linux/Gnome only)

Can't help you with the music though, try '7digital' next time (MP3 only).
