eWeek article on value of Microsoft anti-spam

Is Anti-Spam Microsoft's Next Target Industry?

David Coursey of eWeek talks about the IMF (Intelligent Messaging Filter) recently announced for Exchange Server and its affect on competition.

My take...there are some great 3rd party items out there that have made millions off of Microsoft and there products by just simply improving them. If you build the best people will notice. David mentions iHateSpam which is probably one of the best SMB products for spam. If Sunbelt does it's job it'll continue to stay out in front.

Citrix is another example. Citrix continues to build solid remote access solutions even though Microsoft continues to improve its Terminal Server/Services in every edition of Server it puts out. They have a niche, they do it the best, and they are profiting from it.

OK, that being said let me run off and test out the IMF.
