Gaining commercial exchange experience

I have a problem in that I have 6 solid years of I.T experience but
unfortunately it's all been in Lotus Notes houses. I want to change jobs
(and go exchange) and my lack of commercial exchange is a real problem. Can
anyone suggest any way I can work around this or gap-fil my lack of
commercial exchange? I have the MCSE plus messaging and have took a couple
of exchange courses but I feel I'm in a chicken and egg scenrio with my
exchange (or lack of) skills. I'm in the U.K.

TIA from a frustrated techie!

Yep, a typical IT job Catch-22 situation. I would suggest installing an
Exchange server at home, perhaps in a Virtual Environment. That way, you
will at least get some familiarity with it, if not exactly commercial
experience.

This link
(http://www.exchangemaster.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=41)
is called "Getting Started With Microsoft Exchange". I would personally
suggest Virtual Labs on Microsoft Web site, and of course, your own Virtual
Environment.
