Definitely Exchange 2003 will be the Microsoft messaging solution for another few years. Since Microsoft stopped working on the Kodiak project, there is no clear indication what would be the next generation of Exchange. Kodiak would have integrated Exchange with SQL server for database. However, I think Microsoft realized this wont be a very successful move, and not many would opt to integrate Exchange and SQL. So, right now Exchange 2003 is here to stay.

We are planning on using OWA (we're Windows 2003/Exchange 2003) as our "basic email client" on & off campus. I'm very interested in short term changes we'll see soon, and the long term commitment too.
