Didn't realise the importance/severity of this. Some idiot in the biz can
install Vista (if there's no ban... we have an IE7 over here BTW) and then
the biz is forced to upgrade Exchange. As usual, products that are not
backward compatible (or incompatible with one another) lead to forced
upgrades. Someone recently told me that Microsoft products are not only
incompatible with rivals' software, but also with their own. Just look at
Office.
