I would speculate that the owner already has an NT server
in the network, and needs to add Mail capability. He does
not want to add a Linux box because he neither wants the
expense of an extra box, nor does he want to learn UNIX
to run it. These are legitimate reasons.
Having said that, I would like to know the costs and other
reasons for choosing the MS Exchange server software package,
and what it can do that Linux mail servers can't or don't.
