ms exchange is not a enterprise ready mail server. Switch to lotus domino. Use lotus notes clients. If you cant afford this use the imap apple mail works fine. ldap your mac clients to address book threw mail program will allow response to meetings using ical. Hope this helped.
sun solaris servers, and 1/4 of the office was switched to mac ox, 3/4 use windows xp. Mac os x has made a huge difference in our corporation. Techs actually learn unix. downtime is reduced 80% no compatibility problems opensource resources are outstanding job performance increased 40% no real security worries wireless is almost flawless bluetooth KB, mouse, phone work as well as windows greatly reduced cost the list just goes on, and we have plans to switch the entire 200 person corp. in 1 year I got to say any director of IT who is not looking into this is just negligent. Network engineering is not a preference. You have to use what works at the time. We estimate windows longhorn will be at this lvl in 2009. Most users are diehard windows user, but using this OS have changed everyones opinion. Going to the apple store and people actually care about helping them, at no charge, and simple stuff like finding a file written 3 years ago in 20 secs. I personally think that the os ranting is very childish. You ask urself what companies space suit you would wear on the moon. I guaranty most would be using the apple or sun space suit right now. Those wearing the MS space suit would die at the first freeze of the OS running the space suit. I can't bet my life or my business on what I like, I use what gives it the best chance for survival. Thats my job.
