So Henrik , If you have been toying with it for a year ... How will this impress us

You can start installing and playing with this new version using Hyper-V. Coz you dont have to worry about the base machine. Not that many changes in HUB and CAS. Mailbox role is modified and LCR and SCC is gone forever. Some good failover functionality in terms of database portability.
I m playing with it. Lets see how good it is in terms of managing it.
Keep you updated.

Attachments compressed in DB.... Log shipping made more important.... IM coming back..... CAS role given a lot more importance...... and what not..... ???
Yes DAG is a great addition to the Exchange product. Almost no clustering functionality required and everything is now managed via the EMC/EMS. No more messing around with the WFC console, cluadmin.exe or cluster.exe.
And up to 16 copies of a database!
SCR and CCR combines in perfect harmony.

Recovery Storage Groups (RSGs) are now referred to as Recovery Databases (RDBs) since we no longer have the concept of storage groups in Exchange 2010.
You can use the following command to get you a RDB:
Sounds like Microsoft’s continued engineering is aimed towards eliminating 3rd party products. If this 2010 total package is for real, we could possibly sunset 4 add-ons.
And for people who spend lot of time in digging potential false positive junk mails everyday,,, you are going to love Exchange 2010. Anti-spam technology in 2010 is at its best with Forefront security,
Can u believe, testing showed 99% spam detection rate. The good part here is rating to be either 1 or 9. Hope Jumk mail Folder is taken off in the upcoming version
