Since the arrival of Mac OS X, Apple has been adding features to make its machines fit in well on a Windows network, but the lack of Exchange access has been seen as a critical shortcoming for many corporate Mac users.

Is this a happy day because Mac OS-X users are no longer left out of the Corporate Exchange world, or is it a sad day for the same exact reason? :)

Now the primma donnas in the graphics department can send actual corporate e-mail instead of going strictly SMTP/POP3 and having much of their whining about the superiority of Macs screened out. I'd say this is a bad thing for the corporate world overall. :lol:

BTW kids, if Macs were superior why hasn't anyone acknowledged that outside of Apple's cult? Maybe they aren't...

last job it was a pain supporting the 3 whole macs in the Art department but with Lotus Notes in stead of Exchange (Notes didn't like OS-X either at the time) and MS Office, but since 3 Art Department mac users were the hottest chicks in the company, we did whatever it took. ;)

That's odd. We had a similar situation at a place I once worked. After three months of torture of us guys by the girls which definitely crossed the bounds(unclothed photographs, panties left on our desks) they all came out as lesbian and told us they were quitting to go live together out west. I was the only guy who saw the humor and had a good laugh. Probably a good thing as two of them looked like my younger sister and dressed in that grunge/goth mix look like she did at the time.
