Here's another data point from someone who cannot justify the conversion:

   1.)   The price differential pays for the labor to switch to a competing
product in the initial conversion.
   2.)   I don't know who Ipswitch surveyed, but they are surveying the
wrong people.   The new bundled product doesn't have the features needed for
public mail server issues such as ISPs face - SPF , blacklists on the front
end, auto deny dictionary attacks, etc.
  3.)  Ipswitch - consider adding an unbundled version of the product.   The
only cost to Ipswitch is the difficulty of administering 3 or 5 additional
product numbers.   Ipswitch would be able to retain all the ISP customers
who brought them where they are today instead of abandoning a market segment
and focusing only on medium businesses.  Of the small - medium businesses
I'm aware of, none consider anything except Exchange anyway because of the
mindshare market controlled by Microsoft.   Small businesses can get a
complete Microsoft SBS for less than IMail ICS - and they're going like
hotcakes.
