I've signed up for a business 30 day trial and it seems they are forcing 
Exchange creation.  They want me to provide the domain and proof of 
ownership.  This leads me to believe they will want me to change the MX 
records in my domain to them and thus forcing Exchange.  They support 
IMAP and POP3 so that means that I would have to configure my mail 
server to pull my mail from them so I can use my own procmail filters 
and Linux based clients.

I'm looking at the Home Premium version now to see how it does Outlook.  
Most home users can only acess mail via POP3 or IMAP so I'm thinking 
they would be forced to do that.  Problem is that it is $9.99/mon vs $5.

Confused as hell now....
