Exchange 12 to ship on DVD
September 6th, 2005. Published under General. No Comments.
The Exchange team just blogged that Exchange 12 is going to ship on DVD. This is a pretty big announcement that is going to get a very mixed reaction. As mentioned on their blog this move is inevitable, in a few years much more enterprise software will be coming on DVDs. In fact a lot of client software/games are starting to come on DVD already.
Personally I understand their need to move to DVD (for the additional space), but there are a very large number of servers around that do not have DVD drives and still have CDROM’s. Kudo’s to the Exchange team for bringing this out in the open very early (a year in advance) to give people some time to handle this and to also keep this in mind if they are purchasing Exchange hardware in the next year.
Good stuff; great use of the blog.
