OT:Exchange good? (Was:Re: new hotness?)

[Stephen]

i can see this happening, and i would like to see more options besides
exchange. i think its healthy for dev teams to have something to
compete against.

but remember exchange is also backed by a huge suite of other things
that all work together and it all integrates. thats the flip side that
competing devs need to take a stab at as well. not just email but full
office collaboration. but i think that if it did come up it would be
very groovy to see.

and personally my favorite email client is the gmail web interface. i
really have grown to love the way it threads conversations and handles
email mass. so a 97 email topic is still just one line marked with new
content.
