I hope this is question has not been asked too often before. I did
some searches but could not find anything.

My organization recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 and implemented OWA
2003 -- initially for use when people were out of the office. The
current discussion is whether to eliminate the Outlook 2003 client
completely and make OWA the sole client in our organization. Most of
our users spend most of their time in the office and use e-mail from
their desks.

Can anyone offer any advice -- especially from experience -- about
using OWA as a full-time e-mail client vs. using both OWA and Outlook?
 I am interested in comments both from a user perspective and an I/T
department perspective.

Thank you.

Jon Levy
