Announcing Exchange 14 Video on TechNet

Microsoft's KC Lemson and Jim Lucey chat about Exchange Labs and Exchange 14 in a video on TechNet. The video, at just under 10 minutes, give a glimpse of the next version of Exchange with a demo of E14 OWA (Outlook Live).

The idea of reducing the per mailbox cost of operating Exchange is great for Enterprise customers that can benefit from server consolidation, but the same numbers do not trickle down to the 100 user, single server deployments. Smaller companies may see savings moving to a hosted service, for which Exchange 14 is to be more equipped to handle than previous versions. E14 has been developed from scratch as both a corporate application and a service-level product.

The Announcing Exchange 14 video is worth a view for some high level initial interest and probably the first video of some of the new OWA. At first, I was disappointed that it prompted me for the Silverlight plugin, but selecting the Download button reveals several different video formats to choose from.
