• Public Folders Hanging On … Although Microsoft wants users to shift away from Exchange Public Folders to SharePoint sites and lists, users and organizations are holding fast. “There is no big rush to move off of public folders today because Microsoft has said it will fully support the feature through the life of Exchange Server 2007, which goes to 2016 — the end of its extended support lifecycle. Microsoft has not said whether or not it will support public folders in the next major release of Exchange.” Migration of Public Folders and data therein is problematic; apart from the Quest Public Migrator for SharePoint, there aren’t many tools available.

Productivity

• Know When Enough is Enough … What is your “enough” level? “This Enough idea is fundamentally about three things: contentment, gratitude and generosity. It’s about doing what you can, producing a manageable amount – enough for me/my family and some to share, either by selling at a fair price or giving it away, so that others can have enough too. It’s about having good priorities.” Dan Ward
