<rant> I am trying to calculate how many hundreds of thousands of dollars my company has paid to MS over the years for licensing and SA. And finally I see a feature in Exchange 2010 that I really want to use, and start my upgrade planning. Cool, finally getting some value out of SA. The online archive feature is pretty slick. Then i see the fine print that you can only use this feature if you add Exchange Enterprise CALs. That sucks, but ok. They aren't too expensive. Then I see more fine print that you cannot use Outlook 2010 that comes in Office Standard to access the archive. You must re-buy Office 2010 Pro Plus! MS has gone to far on this one, I feel. What a steaming load... </rant>

Agree not cheep as there is a lot of third party alternatives with more functionality and better prices.Adam Bokiniec
