I don't see a lot of coverage about the ForeFront security for Exchange server 2007.

What is it?
How much is it?
What's the difference between this and other anti-spam and anti-virus products?
If this is Microsoft's product, then why should I choose a third party's product?

I know MS bought out Syberi Antigen and rebranded it as ForeFront. This is how much I can decipher from MS's documentation on this product.

Our current Exchange antivirus provider is Authentium (formerly known as Commandcom). The tech support people don't know when they will start working on upgrading their current product to Exchange 2007.

We currently have all the hardware and software needed to migrate to Exchange 2007 except the antivirus software. Actually our plan is to let exchange 2007 coexist with exchange 2003.

Thanks
