- Surely the first powertoy should be something the OS should be able to do, without having to purchase an extra add-on. Is this an insight into how computing will be in the future - buy the basic funtionality and then pay for added extras.
Am I right in presuming you need to have bought Plus to use this? -

When Microsoft integrates stuff into the OS, people scream. When they don't and charge for addons, people scream. They just can't win.
Oh, and yes, Plus is required for this. -

- I'm sure it'll be integrated into Longhorn. They just didn't have this technology when Windows XP was released.

- [quote]i'm wondering, is dme worth the $20?[/quote] No, no it isn't. I wouldn't waste even a dollar on it. There is nothing it adds that you would use regularly.

- I agree, not worth it. Most of the stuff is pretty useless, like the alarm clock. Most people already have a real alarm clock, rather than leaving their computer on to wake them up. A few audio tools but there are better freeware alternatives, and of course the dancers. After a few minutes that gimmick wears off. It is much better than the first pitiful excuse for a Plus! pack but I still don't think it is worth 20 bucks. It also has product activation, something I've never really cared for.

Exchange 2003, the next major release after Exchange 2000, significantly boosts information worker productivity through ubiquitous access to business-critical messaging and calendaring information, along with enhancements in security, manageability, availability and reliability to help further drive down total cost of ownership. Early beta testers are excited about the potential of the forthcoming product for productivity enhancements, because information workers using "Outlook 11" will see easier e-mail and calendar management, significantly faster synchronization, and easier access over the Internet. In addition, the new Outlook Web Access client adds important new features such as spell check as well as many of the usability enhancements in "Outlook 11." All of this will help raise productivity while reducing training and support costs. And with built-in wireless access, Exchange 2003 will enable mobile professionals to stay in touch through PDAs and cell phones.
Exchange Server 2003 is scheduled to be released in mid-2003, following the scheduled spring release of Windows Server 2003. Customers can download the test code or order CD kits at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/ti
