Most of the talk seems to be centered around not being able to find anything that works with the older version of Exchange server which they cannot afford to upgrade. Have these people never heard of Ximian connector? Sure its not free, but they are going to have to pay some amount of money for some applications anyway. Oh, and from experience Exchange Server 2003 is no better at supporting other platforms that use open standard protcols for connectivity.
