Leave it to Microsoft marketing to come up with Business POS... :) From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@owa.smithcons.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 3:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is Exchange Doomed?
Not true. Glaxo-Smith-Kline (GSK, one of the largest drug companies in the world) is in the process of moving 120,000 (yes, 120K) seats to Microsoft's BPOS solution. They aren't the first, and they won't be the last. I know too much about this particular move that isn't public - but the fact that it is happening is known and public information. ________________________________ From: Maglinger, Paul [pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 2:14 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is Exchange Doomed? I believe there is too much corporate paranoia for a 3rd party email solution on large companies. Small and medium businesses however... ________________________________ From: Louis, Joe [mailto:jlo...@guardianalarm.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 12:06 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is Exchange Doomed? I just find it hard to believe that Google will be replacing Exchange at the corporate end. While that may be their goal, they've been saying that for many years. The same holds true for the MS Office "cloud" model. Where they are making inroads are at a number of public schools, colleges, etc that are using Google email brand (but still buying Office). They are replacing *Nix mail platforms and Netware. Of the ones I can think of, none of them had Exchange. And I'm sure the schools are getting a huge break on it (if not for free). Gmail is great. Not only has it been convenient, but it's been free. I also don't think that Gmail would be nearly as popular as it is if there was a cost to the end user.

"Around 1.75 million businesses are using Google Apps"? 1.75 million USERS I would believe, not businesses. Exchange in your local shop may be doomed, MS wants you to buy it as a cloud service too. It was only a matter of time before somebody came up with reasonable competition.
