Of course I don't know for sure what they meant, but I still haven't
heard of anybody topping exchange for its functionality in the
integrated calendaring/email dept.

Sure, Google is pretty close now, although I don't know if they're quite
there when it comes to things like resource management (rooms/etc).

The last time I looked at the open-source options they were nowhere near
as nice.  Just calendar-only solutions aren't all that great in the FOSS
world.

That said, I'd be really happy if somebody could prove me wrong.
Suppose I wanted to run a business with ~10k employees with
email/calendaring features similar to Exchange.  What would my options be?
