Only on Windows (as Outlook does not run on *nix).

While this is great from an administrative point of view, I find it hard
to believe that the average user would change their mail setup so
drastically to be interoperable with other OSes. Yes, Exchange does
suck. Quite a lot. But I think compability and interoperability of this
nature is one of the "Killer features" of Linux today.

In fact, I'd say that having to implement such a drastic change would
actually *discourage* potential users.
