Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Is Shipping

jones_supa writes: Microsoft's mail and calendar server package Exchange Server 2016 is being refreshed and is now out of preview, along with the 2016 revamp for other Office products. The new Exchange tries to simplify the software's architecture while still adding new features and working better with other Office products. You can now use links from Sharepoint 2016 and OneDrive for Business as email attachments, instead of having to upload the actual file, leading to more robust file sharing and editing. Add-ins have been introduced, which allows extensibility similar to extensions on a web browser. Microsoft is providing a 180-day trial for free.

Really what MS is shipping is the walled garden Windows+SQL+IIS+Exchange.
Once you walk down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Exchange == Blackberry of e-mail systems. I guess if you're a manager or lawyer-like person you decided you still need this for whatever reason. Kay brah.
