I don't know exact cost amounts, but I can tell you we went through a similar comparison and the costs were relatively the same for both, so it basically depended on the client's feelings towards in-house vs. hosting in general and weighing the pros and cons of both.

We are looking at either upgrading our current 2003 Exchange to 2010 and replacing the hardware it runs on, or outsourcing the Exchange portion to a cloud service. We have about 10 Wintel servers and would incorporate Hyper V as part of the upgrade, as I have other servers which also need to be replaced this year. What I have been trying to find is a general cost per user of hosted versus in-house Exchange, and the average bandwidth per user required for outsourced. Anybody know a decent site where I might find that info?
