Hi,

I just got a question about what server we should get in the near future (Mac based design company)
I am in favour of OSX server and someone else here for MS Exchange.

The arguments for MS are: shared-agenda and a central E-mail address database.

This is possible in OSX also, right?? (and simpler then MS)



Thanks

take a look at the workgroup functions http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/workgroups.html

One word: Security...

MS Exchange is so full of holes. Viruses don't even need to be written by an expert. If you don't want to run into the LuvBug, Melissa4, CodeRed every few months, then buy the OSX Server and be done with it.

That's enough of a reason for ANY business (mac or pc based) to consider eliminating MS products like Exchange from their networks.
