We are a non-profit organization that relies soley on grants to keep our
organizations running. I was also wrong in that we only needed 100 user
license. I understand the cost for people who take their time to
contribute to the open source community. I just think that the open source
alternative should not cost as much as the proprietary software.
Because we are a non-profit I have found that we can purchase Exchange
Standard for $39.00 and $2.50 per seat. These can be found at
www.compumentor.org if you are a non-profit check this site out.
