And once Exchange goes standards-based, other clients can use all the fun 
Exchange scheduling / TODO / etc stuff.  Outlook can speak to ical and other
standard servers, but Exchange don't do them.

I was glad to see that MS has a version of Outlook for the mac, and even put
it on an unlocked web page for me to download.  That way, I can actually get
to my work email without using that ugly web-based interface.

And a tip to those interested in the UofPhoenix online campus:  Everything
is done via Outlook/Outlook Express/Web Outlook.  Yes, it's all IMAP/NNTP &
LDAP, but they turned on that MS authentication stuff.  Why even bother?
