What causes the high TCO? It must be the cost of high-end server hardware,
because having a warm standby Exchange server does not require additional
CALs, which is usually the biggest monetary bite.

According to the article, it meets "most essential Exchange groupware
requirements," and supports "most" Exchange functionality. Also, it does not
support Outlook forms, which are an integral component of many companies'
internal communication strategy. I don't want to be mean, but this really
does not qualify as flawless. Add to that the fact that it does not have
anything very comparable to Outlook Web Access, and I'm not really sure you
can say it has a lower TCO.
