Exchange 2010 enters Beta release
April 20, 2009:Microsoft has released a public beta of Exchange Server 2010, featuring new integrated e-mail archive and due out in the second half of 2009.
It promises the ability to run on lower-cost direct-attached storage, and introduces an integrated e-mail archive.
Some of the new features on the way include the ability to provide warnings before committing an e-mail faux pas, as well as text previews of voice mail directly in Outlook.
A new e-mail "mute button" allows people to remove themselves from an irrelevant e-mail string, reducing unwanted e-mail and runaway reply-all threads.
Related e-mail messages can be combined in a single conversation to reduce inbox clutter.
Exchange Server 2010 will become available in the second half of 2009. Additional Office products including Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, MicrosoftVisio 2010 and Microsoft Project 2010 are scheduled to enter technical preview in the third quarter of 2009 and release to manufacturing in the first half of 2010.
