Works just fine for us here (large organisation), we control autoupdates and have calendaring enabled. “Specifically, that means some kind of management system for Windows-based networks, whereby I can control updates, configure accounts, control user’s settings centrally, etc.”

I don't think TB fits in the Mozilla plans about the web (e-mail != the web), and it's a pitty, because I know a lot of people that uses TB (in fact, about 90% of my workmates use TB in Gnome/KDE). TB is a big win in any plan to migrate to FOSS, because the first step is to run FOSS software in windows and get rid of some "problems" (aka Outlook and IE). So I think TB must consinue roking, although it's outside the Mozilla umbrella.

In an open source context this would have to mean read/write LDAP. Evolution, buggy as it is, has had this for some large number of years. I'm sure it's a difficult problem to solve--I'm certainly not in a place to write code for it--but I am disappointed that other projects have managed it, but Mozilla has not.
