I've never shopped for it, so I'm not the right person to ask ;-)

No, it includes Exchange Server.

You'll need Exchange-aware antivirus as well - Trend ScanMail or Sybari
Antigen are the only two I'd recommend (and will do so highly). Also, if
you're using third party backup software like Veritas or ArcServe, you'll
need to buy the associated Exchange agent so you can do nightly online
backups - or you can use the bundled NTBackup on the Exchange server.
