If you accept all those limitations and add a Windows 2000 application
server with Exchange 2000, IIS and CRM Server and the clients are still
running off of Windows 2003:
1) How do you integrate the Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2000 to get the best
functionality?
2) Can you just replace Outlook 2003 with Outlook XP or do you have to
abandon all of the Office 2003 products?
3) Can you use CRM loaded on a 2000 Server without exchange 2000 and office
2000 integration?
Why did the Action Pack team put SBS2003 and CRM in the same package without
providing any warning that CRM cannot "save you a nickel", but rather
requires that you build an old server and install an old operating system in
order to use it.
