Microsoft Exchange is often a server hog. Server hogs are increasingly being butchered for the juicy virtualised bacon within. So why aren’t more Exchange deployments jumping on the virtualisation gravy train?
You had IT set up Microsoft Exchange Server on your personal phone so you could get corporate email and stay in touch. You also, likely unbeknownst to you, gave them the power to remotely control and wipe your phone.
Given the rate that Apple trashes Microsoft products, it’s pretty interesting that the most significant updates to the iPhone 3G and Mac OS involve adding Microsoft Exchange support. Tech site MacUser reports that the next version of OS X—10.6, “Snow Leopard”—is more of a performance upgrade than feature-packed release, but it will include Exchange server support out of the box for the corporate types who get their email in Outlook. Does this mean your Windows-only corporate office will open its doors to Macs? Tell us what you think in the comments.
