The strange thing is that one of the major improvements to Evo when
going from 1.x to 2.x (I think) was getting rid of the individual
processes for each component and amalgamating them into one threaded
executable. :-)

The problem really comes down to how the individual processes and
windows interact and synchronise - as far as I can see with something
like a browser the individual windows/tabs etc are essentially
autonomous and independent, whereas with a groupware application there
is considerably more interaction between the components.
