from what I've seen, the shops that are dead-set to use Exchange/Outcrook,
primarily do it because of the scheduling and contact-management
misfeatures. (stuff that I don't think should be part of a mail client).
the other wierd thing that people want, is the Exchange version of
'vacation'... usually so they can say they'll be out of the office for
couple of hours. :(
