This I am in agreement with, when I heard we were not to roll out O2K7 in our company for reasons already stated I found that quite annoying because even though the look and feel does take getting used to, it really is far more logical than before.

My biggest problem is that there is no good exchange support in any other suite than MS Office. You can make hokey ldap/imap configurations but in the end the full Exchange capability is what makes the MS Office indespensable in our company.
