You obviously can't read. Exchange can be a POP3 server or a web host, with no limit on the number of mailboxes.

No need to get insulting, but trolls on OSS threads generally end up getting that way. as a POP3 server you dont get the calendering and group ware functions which is what Exchange does better than just about anyone out there. At this point exchange is no better than sendmail, so what exactly is MS offering me here?

Server 2003 requires licenses for local logins, but not remote logins.

I was under the impression that server 2003 comes with a few loging for remote support but as a terminal server it does not allow unlimited connection in and of itself.

No business is going to make a software decision based on saving $10 per year.

Hmmm I have said in this thread "Eh I have auditors and PHB's to make happy so I just go ahead and drop the money for RHEL (full out for production) and developer entitlements to dev-test (at 300$ for 5 RHEL subscriptions you cant go wrong for dev/test).." So what makes you think my decision would be over 10$ per desktop?

Maybe if you got less snippy with people and engaged in conversation we all might get more out of this..

You might think this, but you would be wrong. SBS allows unlimited remote logins for terminal services, and the Outlook web client. The Outlook web client runs on I.E. and looks just like Outlook on your office workstation.

My local school system runs 40,000 PCs on an MS network, and all the teachers and administrators use the web client for email.
