Keeping in mind, that is really only about 1200 users and 299,998,800 mailboxes.

I am just saying that currently working for an Exchange 2007 migration project for 180K users, I dont see the scalability to 300M users in the near future... especially when you are promising up to 5gb of storage per account with no current sunset of data storage (all message stored for X months, etc) On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 12:19 PM, James Kerr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for the info Kat ----- Original Message ----- From: Kat Collins To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:24 PM Subject: Re: Hotmail HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Holy [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is hilarious! I lurve me some Exchange, but there is no way in Hades that Exchange as it stands now or in what I understand for the next 3 generations, could handle the volume, load and uptime requirements of Hotmail. Knowing the backend infrastructure required to support the number of users in Hotmail, I just can't see it.
