I agree 100% with you. I must first admit that I have not tested, read, or used the new IPSwitch product so I can't honestly say whether or not the new features are worth the price. However, given the fact that I have 4 subscriptions to Imail server Unlimited and was lead to believe that the collaboration upgrades would be part of a Imail upgrade makes me quite irritated. Furthermore, no notice was sent to me (probably no other Imail customers) about the release, upgrade path, pricing, etc of ICS. Also, the upgrade for existing subscription users is almost a slap in the face. We also have a 5000 user Exchange 2003 system so there really isn't any requirement that we have for a ICS product. Now, having said that, I do believe that there is a market for a stand-alone ICS product. Exchange w/ SBS is still more expensive than ICS so if ICS can deliver the features then it might be worth it. The unfortunate thing is that it looks like they won't be continuing to offer the Imail product that many ISP's have trusted for so long. I just know we won't buy ICS but we will continue to use Imail/Declude. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
