Eh? Use it as you like. The system design targets specific functionality. In this case MS's direction for Exch2010 is improving I/O ops which will benefit some organizations. This will likely come at the expense of disk space requirement which will adversely affect other organizations.
Not all products can be all things for all people. As far as I can see, nobody said it was categorically wrong to use Exchange this way. It may be wrong for organizations that have constraints regarding space usage, backup windows, etc... but those are decisions you get to make. By all means, store what you want in it. Or use the product you feel is best for you, even if that means a previous version of Exchange. People were upset when MS dropped NT support for Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC too... but design considerations change. -sc -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 12:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Amusing On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 10:43 PM, Steven M.
