Hunh, it's gone up a $1/user since last I checked.  We were looking at
this extensively to be out web client (instead of OWA) for our
students (Georgia Gwinnett College), and potentially our staff as
well.  We didn't go with it because we simply don't have the technical
support resources (financials were actually okay here)  to get it up
and going.  We'd love to, and may in the future, since it can also be
an avenue to slowly replace the Exchange environment backend.
