I use it ASU as well, and attachments work fine for me. If the browser
doesn't support the file, like, you don't have acrobat reader installed,
it'll be problematic, but you can still right-click/save as...
Calendaring works fine to. I can create an appointment in Outlook, view it
through the web, and vice-versa. Contacts are the same way. You don't get
client-side rules, but server-side still work.
With the volume of appointments, tasks, etc etc, that we deal with each day,
the web interface doesn't cut it, so we still use Outlook. We only use the
web-interface when off-campus and when teaching other people how to use it
in case they need to.
email-q is pretty good with the exchange servers. When a virus comes
through, 95% of the time, it isn't the fault of the server, but the fault of
the user that opens the attachment or that person's computer support group
that hasn't told them to not open attachments from people they don't know.

As was pointed out to me by a coworker, the web feature is only useful if
you
don't have email attachments. Also does the web interface work with
calendaring? I have to have both features at ASU so I can't just up and
dump
windows from my system.
