Personally, and this is more from a developer-come-admin POV than a
hardcore admin POV, I'd rate Exchange above Notes, mostly 'cos there is
a lot about notes - mostly the (so-damn-fat-its-not-funny) client and
the server's lack of extendability with external apps.
There again, I am trying to get it to do things its not really designed
to do.
As a mail server, I'd still stick with Linux. As for groupware, I dunno
- 130 people here use notes, and its the most stable system present (the
other is peoplesoft - which is a total DOG.).
