I would love to have been able to explain that to the person writing the
checks, but the issue was a killing point. The fact that the users had the do
anything or be restricting in any way made no sense to the person writing the
check. And I think it's a valid point. If a business chooses to keep huge
volumes of emails then they should be able to given the constraints of the
physical disk rather than the software on the system.
SBS was actually less expensive than the Linux solution after you factor in
the lower cost add-ons like 3rd party antivirus and backup... entreprise and
moving to Exchange and 2k3 really pushed the price to well over 4 times the
Linux..
