If you really think that, then perhaps it's time for me to go back and take
another look at Kerio and other products.
When I last ran the hosting portion of an ISP (toward the end of 2007), we had
3 different email offerings. A free one, based on one of the free email
servers, which had low feature content ("free" to purchasers of other services
of course). One that was $1 / month per mailbox that was based on Icewarp's
Merak which had a number of additional features. And finally one based on
Exchange and LCS (at the time) that offered a HECK of a lot more features and
functionality.
If anything has developed to provide the capabilities of Exchange, including
the tight Integration with Outlook, Lync, SharePoint, IIS and other Microsoft
infrastructure products - then it certainly deserves a serious look.

No way in heck would I touch Exchange. What does Exchange get me that other,
cheaper products (i.e.: Kerio) can't get me? Except of course a bogged-down
server with a lot of additional maintenance and a smaller budget.
