I'm not saying Exchange 2010 doesn't bring anything to the table. It has a lot of really interesting features. For us, I know, the archiving capabilities are *really* interesting. But here's the thing: If someone has a product that has features that one uses today, and the next release of the product takes away those features, that's a step backwards. It doesn't matter that the new release is faster/lower/longer/wider, if it doesn't deliver what we're depending on today. Since we're using bad analogies: Look at your car. Say next year's model has a better radio, GPS navigation, power seats, and a built-in hibachi grill. But it gets 1/2 as many miles to the gallon. What do you care more about? (Again, scalability upward doesn't matter to us small shops. We don't care if you can run 3000 users per server where you could only run 1000 before. We only have 70 users; other small shops will have fewer, or a few hundred, tops.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
