That's it I'm done. Done with trying to even push Microsoft products anymore. I've learned Server 2003 and Exchange very well so I decided to fire up a test domain with windows server 2008 and exchange 2007 on a host only virtual machine set up. Good God what have you people done! I have to learn a whole new design that is incredibly clunky and lame! Mostly I'm talking about server 2008, but the install of Exchange 2007 SP1 was incredibly long and drawn out. Completely unacceptable. Makes installing Exchange 2003 look like a freaking cake walk. Which in hindsight, it was! And not having a native Exchange aware backup tool is just incredibly stupid.
That's it. I'm out. Done. I'm using explorer on an xp64 box but I'm done with your server products.
