"Almost everybody uses Exchange, they just don´t know it"
Channel9 is featuring its first-everinterview with an Exchange guy. Some great quotes in there: "Almost everybody uses Exchange,they just don't know it" "So far we've given developers42 different APIs...developers have found that confusing""My e-mail server might be down....yup,it's down"Yet at the endthey come back and say that Exchange is stable. heh.Seems like a lot of the "innovation" in Exchange 12 is catch-upwork -- full-text search, incremental backup, typeahead addressing in OWA. All this requiring a hardware upgrade, dropping or stabilizing allexisting APIs, and dropping active/active clustering. At least ayear away. As for "almost everybody uses Exchange", the speaker quotes Gartneras saying that Exchange runs more than half of all business e-mail mailboxes. I haven't ever seen a report like that.(Thanks, Bruce)
