That has been part of one of the Microsoft extended support
programs for decades.

The incompatibility here is not with OOo, but with Microsoft
 Exchange. [Specifically, they were unwilling to learn how
to use the LAMP equivalent.]

Whilst this is blatant propaganda by Microsoft, it is worth
pointing out that the OOo website does an excellent job of
hiding information from people that want/need to use it.
The OOo wiki simply serves to hide it better from all and
sundry.

Both the website and the wiki need to be totally redesigned,
so that people can find important things like the current
roadmap for OOo 3.0, and OOo 4.0.
