Exchange Server 5.0 Smoothes the Rough Edges

The first release of Microsoft's enterprise messaging server, Exchange 4.0, was in March 1996. Exchange Server 5.0 seeks to eliminate some rough edges in the original release, radically expand the available clients, and embrace all sorts of Internet protocols. Too much to do in a single release? Well, if Release Candidate 1 (RC1), the currently available beta of Exchange 5.0, is any indication, Microsoft has done a pretty good job, and the upgrade to Exchange 5.0 won't require too much effort.
