>Who cares what the documentation says, store.exe DOES crash my server.
Your server, yes. Not mine, not the one I administrated at my last job
(which covered some 7.000 users).

Well, true. But most of those 75 also state a reason for why it crashes,
usually there are some prerequisites.

Not more then is the case on an open source platform. But, the point is that
I do not have to pay for the upgrades, and I can get support from Microsoft.

Really? Just how am I part of the problem simply because I can administer
both *NIX-based open source platforms, or huge commercial installations from
software vendors that you may or may not like?

Where did I say I participated in FCS installs?

You do not have to like exchange; you do not have to like me. But just as
you are free to dump on exchange, I am just as free to say I actually like
the platform from a groupware perspective.
To me, it seem pretty apparent that one of us is doing something very wrong
with their Exchange environment.
Look, Jason, we should probably take this discussion off-list completely.
But as a closing statement; IF someone want to know anything about exchange
as a groupware platform, or how I have chose to utilize Exim as a mail
washer/router in conjunction with Exchange, Sharepoint Portal Server and
Office 2003, feel free to give me a holler.
