And PF Permissions, custom permissions on folders (similar to delegate permissions Tristan mentioned), replying to old e-mails, modifying reoccurring meeting requests, synchronization of OST files, downloading of OAB files, etc. Green Field migrations are nice when you can get them, but there's a non-trivial level of work involved if one wants to make it transparent to users. Sometimes it's worth the effort to make that happen though.

For example, it does not move mail.
