The biggest thing is the shared calendars and contacts. That is the reason I have been investigating changing from a standard Fedora install (just using email with unix accounts, with some samba shares) to something with a bit more punch. I am trialling Zimbra (installed CentOS on a second computer) right now, and will be looking at Scalix.
This will all save ~$AU9000 for a non-profit (church) for Exchange. I'm hoping in future more people will use the web interface eliminating the need for Outlook, and even Windows. However they run a database that is Windows-only clients so this seems unlikely (unless I can coax it to work under wine or something).
