Exchange is the best choice for intra-organizational e-mail on
relatively homogenous internal networks.  The many features of Exchange
provide a great many relevant and useful advantages in this type of
environment.

For heterogenous networks and ISPs, Exchange is a poor choice, because
most users won't be able to profit from it, and because it is very
difficult to implement when many machines in a network are non-Windows
(and the Exchange servers themselves _must_ run Windows).
