A lot of new upgrades and features which should be considered ASAP if your either planning to go Exchange 2010 or have already gone Exchange 2010. For me, Exchange 2010 is HUGE from a DR standpoint as well as a cost saving standpoint being that you can finally run Exchange on big slow disk! Groovy baby yeah!
