the IT people can just wipe it remotely not caring where it is.

I already love how they can remotely install sh*t on my box. No, thanks.

keep all email for at least 7 years but you don't want it in anyone's mailbox. right now you have to buy a third party product.

failover to another city with all your company's email there.

Like, say, *any* database backup utility? As for failovers, even bloody sendmail could do that.

Exchange is pure evil. The only thing worse is the MTA from Lotus Notes.

there may be cases where what "everyone thinks" (i.e. the common conception even among experts) is wrong, and some random nutcase is right. It almost never happens, but it happens sometimes.

We have a free (somewhat) market to verify that. If nutcase's idea is right, it WORKS. And if it's againt experts, even better - guy/gal is going to be innovative enough to make some serious buck and gain publicity.
