Re: OT: Large corporate email systems - Exchange vs open source *nix based

[John]

'You have been lucky where you work then:)  The "political" nature comes 
in when some Executive @ the company gets it stuck in his head that we 
*HAVE* to switch to Exchange'
Usually because some marketing shark from M$ has started the FUD 
campaign by whispered in his ear "do you want people to think your 
company CAN'T afford Exchange", or "You don't want people to think that 
your business is not doing so well that you have got the money for xxx" 
- usually accompanied by subtle hints about the word getting around.
Glad I am retired, because been the too often.
