Anyone got any experience with Exchange Online? for a small business who already use Windows and Outlook for everything, who want full-on Exchange but don't want to run the server themselves.
I mean, it looks to be bog-standard Hosted Exchange, but it's less than half the price of Rackspace Hosted Exchange and Rackspace is one of the cheaper hosted exchange providers. I've seen a couple of "here's why you should use us, not Exchange Online" blog posts from Hosted Exchange providers, and they mostly focus on MS giving you an admin console and expecting you to do the accounts, setup, lists, and end-user handholding yourself and presenting themselves as adding value in that regard.
Anyone have any actual experience with them, or reasons to avoid?
("YOU TRUST MICROSOFT LOL?" is not a real reason to avoid, for the record. It will get deservedly mocked.)
And now, for the non-geeks in the audience: I have gone shopping!

They will be delicious.
