    could you go through what you have written and tidy it up please - clear up the poor english grammar and make it straight forward to read.

    Not being rude - I genuinely want to understand what you have to say but at the moment am finding it a tad confusing.

    I understand the issues surrounding not supporting 2007 on 2008R2 but it has made a lot of people stop and think twice about how to go foward from here. I am fairly neutral on this as I am only a small scale user of Exchange but for bigger players I can how this is a big headache.

    I think there is a good arguement here to switch away from MS and chose GNU/Linux / Unix option for less bells and whistles type users, who just want their mail to go to and from with a choice of clients, MTAs, MDAs to modify if they wish. MS have a habit of overcomplicating certain aspects of their products and also leaving out some very useful features that other free systems have in them.

    Arrogant, arrogant Microsoft. When will they learn?

    Listening to what customers want and then doing exactly that is no way to run a business. . . oh, wait. . . .
