Exchange isn't part of an operating system - it is an application that tightly integrates email, scheduling, contacts, and tasks. For example if you want to schedule a meeting or conference call you can view all the participant's schedules to pick a good time and when you send the meeting request it automatically shows up in the recipients calendar and can have an automatic alarm notification associated (which you might also sync to a pda). A feature difficult to duplicate with less integrated applications is that if you send a meeting request or an update that shifts the time, the calendar event is modified even if you haven't opened that email yet. This can be critical for people who work in distributed groups and have to arrange and adjust times to call in to conference bridges together. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
