Peter L,
I actually don't see much vitriol in the comments. It looks like people have dismantled your marketing-speaque and you are upset about it.
How about answering some of the genuine concerns that people have about getting Exchange to work better with the iPhone. You are after all, all about serving the customers, not just extending your hegemony, correct?
For instance, why don't you begin by answering the following questions:
1. When is Exchange going to support Push-IMAP. iPhone already supports this.
2. What is your roadmap for support of CalDAV.
3. What is your roadmap/time frame to support RFC 4550?
4. When are you going to improve LDAP support and provide GAL thru LDAP?
As you said:
"I love the iPhone, and bought my wife one a few days after they shipped. I really want one for myself, but for my business work-flow, I absolutely have to integrate with Exchange. I happen to like the features that Exchange provides, but it doesn't really matter what I think, because my company likes it, and it is our internal standard. "
Clearly, you have an itch that needs to be scratched since you indicate that you "love" the iPhone. Why don't you tell us about what you are doing to scratch this itch?
