Exchange 2010, which was released to
manufacturing Thursday, includes new storage and deployment options, enhanced in-box management capabilities, built-in e-mail archiving, new database
clustering, and additional hardware options. And while it all is designed to add up to a better Exchange it doesn't eliminate the complexity of
