Exchange 2007 RTM (Updated)

Following up on my earlier post re: Exchange 2007 not actually launching on launch day...  Well, it seems the team is finally pleased with their work and have signed off on RTM.  As usual, see the EHLO Blog for details.  As soon as I get the bits installed I'll grab some screen shots and post a full review.  Maybe I should add a VoIP gateway to my Christmas list.  Santa, are you listening?

Update: Head over to the Exchange TechNet site to register for the evaluation version.  Still no word on availability, but the registration process ends with "Thanks... we'll e-mail you when it's ready".  I'm also hopeful that the team will release updated VHD Test Drive images in short order.  There's no better/quicker way to test this product than a pre-configured VHD.

Update 2: I spoke with Mary Jo over at ZDNet this morning re: the launch.  She asked for my thoughts - specifically around a topic that hasn't received much coverage.  My answer: servicing.  Read the details of our discussion on Mary Jo's blog.
