We currently have a single Exchange 2003 SP2 server servicing all our mailboxes and public folders.
In six months or so I need to look at replacing the hardware, which means I need to be thinking now what I want to do on the software side for testing/budgeting purposes etc. I'm looking at the feature list of Exchange 2007 vs. 2003 and I'm kind of scratching my head and thinking "What's the big deal"? We've just gone down the route of a SAN and a small ESX cluster, and what I'm currently thinking is skip the software upgrade next year and stick with 2003, and get it virtualized properly to add some resiliency, then review it the following year. I'd welcome all feedback but I'm looking at all the E27K comparison matrices and tbh there's not much that's convincing me that the $70k or so just in CAL costs is going to benefit us sufficiently to justify it.
