Recently, Microsoft surprised many by announcing that the next version of Exchange will only run on the 64-bit version of Windows Server (more at this page). While this is a good move for medium-size to large Exchange customers, it’s illustrative of the fact that Exchange scales relatively poorly in the real world. This is because... read more »

Nice Demo of Intelligent Analysis of Message Stores for Discovery
It’s comparatively simple to issue a discovery request for emails. For example, you say something like, "I want to see all emails, between such-and-such dates, that contained any of the following words." You then get a vast quantity of emails back, and you then have to sift through the emails. It’s extremely labor-intensive. Plus, you... read more »

Servers can easily run out of space; e.g., Windows can take 1GB of this. Over the next two years, 64-bit... read more »
