Enterprise Applications: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Includes Welcome Improvements


With the first beta of Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft showcases some very welcome improvements in its messaging and collaboration platform. Exchange Server 2010 offers features that will help businesses share server data, and administrators and end users can now seamlessly go between internal and hosted e-mail servers. This beta of Exchange Server 2010 also provides some very nice new features for those who rely heavily on the Web-based Outlook Web Access client. Most notably, the Exchange Web client now essentially functions the same on Firefox and Safari as it does on Internet Explorer.
