benefits of Exchange 2007

I am in searching of the benefits of upgrading my current Exchange 2000 system to 2007. The main challenge of using Exchange 2000 & Outlook is that when the user is on remote, Outlook does not work well with VPN, mostly due to the lousy local network connection such as hotel wireless; however, Outlook Web Access (OWA) seems to be working at acceptable level. For example, when I traveled to the far east, it's impossible to use VPN because of the poor inter-continental connection. I got by with using OWA.

My question is can I use Outlook but set it up to use HTTP or Port 80 with all the Exchange benefits? I do know the OWA in 2007 is nice.

On top of this, why do I need to upgrade to 2007?

Hi,
You would need to upgrade to Exchange 2007 for following reasons::::
  • Focus on Compliance & Rules
  • Improved Security & AntiSPam features
  • Improved Client Access (Anywhere/Autodiscover/ActiveSync/OWA)
  • Improved Storage & Management
  • Ease of Administration
  • Unified Messaging
Bascially have alook at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/Topreasons.mspx

Hope this helps
