Oh wait, you are trying to infiltrate a windows shop and bring sanity and Linux to the masses. Welcome into the brotherhood master spy. (Coming back to reality....) Yes, I have found the same when it came to comparing Windows and Linux. They look at the cost of just the operating system on the Windows side, but make sure to tabulate everything additional on the Linux side, which isn't much extra and what you get in comparison is the key. I am in the process of searching for a replacement to Exchange. Cost is an issue, but my main concern is being able to migrate my users email. Some mailboxes are over 2gb. Unfortunately, the newer version of Communigate Pro introduced a bug that limits you to mailboxes less than 2gb. I have yet to get Byanari to be able to import a mailbox. For that matter, neither has CGate Pro. Not good. A well. Good luck! Ed, who now takes out his Mr. Microphone and sings "Feelings, nothing more than feelings......"
