That's pretty much my experience, too.  I'm weird enough to admit that I
actually like Exchange when it is used to its potential, but I've only
seen that in one of the places where I have worked or consulted in the
last 7 years.

Ironically, it was all the way back in '98.  We had our faxes,
voicemail, and workflow system and homegrown knowledge management system
completely integrated with exchange.  I haven't seen anyone doing
anything more than using it for mail and public folders since then.
