Every Admin I've met who offers the "solution" of Exchange just thinks it's cool. They usually are MCSE's and have a big personal stake (lots of time and energy) put into MS certification. And there are some things to say for standardization...I just can't think of any;-). In my experience these "standardized" MS Exchange email systems are highly vulnerable to virus and worm attacks. This is a natural result of the lack of emphasis on security which Microsoft seems to relish and on standardization itself.
