Of the many bits of information that came out of Apples World Wide Developers Conference<\/a> this week, one that really caught my attention was Snow Leopards native support<\/a> for Exchange.<\/p>\n

Within one of the sessions Apple spoke about how the out-the-box Mail app will support connectivity to Exchange for email (including folders) and tasks, with iCal supporting Exchange calendars and AddressBook integrating with Exchange Contacts.<\/p>\n

Providing it works as advertised that\u2019s really good news, if a little surprising.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be good to see it in action, assuming it supports the exchange auto-discovery tools it should be a very easy setup.<\/p>\n

With the Snow Leopard supporting Exchange, Microsoft Messenger for Mac providing great access to OCS\u2019s<\/a> capabilities and SharePoint 2010 about to offer better support for non-IE browsers, Mac\u2019s should offer a pretty good business platform for companies that use Microsoft infrastructure.\u00a0 It will also be interesting to see how well Snow Leopard works with Microsoft\u2019s hosted BPOS services that offer MS\u2019s business platforms from the Cloud.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019m not really a Mac user I\u2019m quite looking forward to trying this stuff out.\u00a0 Anything that builds interoperability and people more options has to be a good thing.\u00a0 It should certainly help the Apple case for making Mac\u2019s acceptable as a business computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
