At the end of the day, Outlook is nothing more than an email client. Nobody is suggesting to anyone that they use Exchange over Google or Google over anything else. Outlook is a very good email client when used and setup properly. Also, I sure hope nobody is equating Outlook Express to Outlook. Completely different products, but it's a comparison I've run into more than a few times when having these discussions.

Edit: Also, to touch on the BES thing... I've also managed a BES server along side an Exchange server. I worked for a pretty crazy office once, where people had to have their office email on their phones, but the company wouldn't buy the phones for anyone. It was ######ed. Anyway, half the people had Motos running Windows Mobile 5, and the other half were running Blackberrys.

Talk about headaches...
