I agree with this. IPSwitch proably needing to look at other markets and providing the Collaboration Server in that aspect is a good Idea. For me the question is why the need for imediate wholesale abandonment rather than some sort of transition period that provides IMail as a seperate product even if direct development is limited or development/support is limited to patches/fixes. The Collaboration Server product has been in devlopment for some time. It seems a transition period of some sort could have been factored in. Unless of course part of the thought was "we've got em they are too heavly invested to switch" they will have to pay. Which seems to be a somewhat common attiude of some. This seems like jumping into the pit to fight the 600lb gorilla and flipping off the guy in charge of the ladder.
