I'll second that. It would be absolutely unthinkable that MS would have risen 
to their dominant position if it's products were total pants. Almost total 
pants, yes....You can fool some of the people, etc. Exchange is far more than 
a mail server - it's a complete groupware product which few people know how 
to utilise or install properly. For most users it's total overkill, May as 
well use NTMail.

IIS - well, it's optimised for NT. End of list of good points.
