Commodity servers are commodity servers. I don't use the IFS for file serving, I use inexpensive commodity hardware with good backups. Same with email and DNS. Nothing unprofessional about the right tool for the job.

You say that Exchange evens things out, I say that that since it's worthless to me it doesn't even anything out.

It's really a point of view issue, Lukas. The more you like Microsoft products, the more Microsoft makes sense. Me, I'm almost entirely removed from Microsoft now and I don't miss it. The day the Rational products run on Linux, I'm probably off of Windows for good. An IBM i solution with Linux workstations is a really attractive option, in my opinion.
