Getting a bit off topic, but I have used the SuSE OpenExchange product mentioned and can confirm that it works great for Outlook users except for calendar sharing / meeting invitations. It has its own web based stuff which works great, but Outlook users really just want it to all happen in Outlook.
Which do you think will happen first: A) A new Outlook upgrade will handle calendaring using an open standard B) End users will lose interest in calendaring stuff C) SuSE or somebody else will figure out how to make this work D) On the coat tails of their SFU announcement Microsoft will port all applications to Linux to ease the integration troubles of customers On Thu, 2004-01-15 at 13:53, Turnpike Man wrote: > All my corporate environments have incorporated Exchange as well, and in > general, it does work pretty well.
