If you have something you use that you feel meets your needs then share it.

I use Zimbra + Funambol (but both are custom modified by me to meet my needs..depends on what needs you have there are other options)

Microsoft makes a lot of money on Windows Mobile device licenses and Exchange CALs based on Windows Mobile + Exchange ActiveSync. Loosing the business market isn't a realistic option for Microsoft. They need to chase both markets at the same time (like they do in Computers).

windows mobile only gives them 5-25$ per license, Exchange and Activesync though they may earn more on

As a business I loose a lot of features (by the looks of it) with W7Ps. By having Facebook and Twitter cooked into the core of the OS that means I have less control over information leakage in my organization. It also increases the likelyhood that my employee will be loosing hours on the phone I paid for to post twitter updates... My existing business applications and tools will not work...

My guess is if they do realize WP7 as a phone to business they may let you lock out features but probably a person would be able to crack the lock if wanted..
that said I'm also not too happy at the direction WP7 is going from a business perspective...reason for it being as microsoft said..its not a pocket pc anymore its a phone..but I need a pocket pc not just a phone.
