Setting up personal exchange server for direct push?

[xmind2006]

I very much like the idea of having the direct push that exchange offers, but don't want a third party involved (mailtoweb) or doing the polling that the other third party software does. So, I was wondering if anyone has had luck setting up their own exchange server at home to offer direct push?

BTW, My school has a partnership with MS so the CE/CS students get free legit versions of their software (Exchange Server included).

Thanks in advance for any info.
