Re: Feedback wanted: Hosted Exchange experienceso with Google
After lengthy reviews of Apptix and BPOS, BPOS is clearly not ready for prime time. They have some odd limitations that appear to be more a result of going to market too soon than anything else.

Re: Feedback wanted: Hosted Exchange experienceso with Google
I like BPOS. I've got one instance with 20 users. Works great, don't have to touch it after the initial setup. I hear Office 365 is even better. On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 1:51 PM, Michael B.
