If you are just doing email it doesn't make much sense to be locked in to a proprietary server. Unfortunately there hasn't been any real alternative to exchange or notes if you need calendar/scheduling tied to email. Our company has widely distributed offices and depends heavily on conference calls with everyone calling a bridge number at the same time. I'd never remember the times if outlook or my phone (treo w/outlook sync) didn't beep at me - and they change all the time as people have to reschedule. Even if an alternative to exchange existed, it would be pretty hard to change all the infrastructure at this point.
You are so correct. I have never used any other feature than email. Any calender function was working well with iCal. Even my boss wants to go back to Mozilla as Outlook has lowered his productivity.
His comment was about the Calender feature that only a few people actually use is the reason by this forced shift. An IT person told me it was a make work project for a particular person.
