I do see your point in a potential (ok who are kidding - real) risk of a 
system crash with using MS having full control over your phone system 
but, I was thinking  along the lines of using exchange really only as a 
messaging system - ie voice mail, email reader. From what I can make out 
MS are even going along the lines of doing speech to text with 2010 
version (I think it has text to speech already).

I would have to agree that the PBX side of things is held still by 
Asterisk and I don't see my view on that changing yet, but, I would 
imagine MS would dig their heels in rather than changing exchange. The 
Asterisk community, being more open minded to change, could easily(?) 
make this work.


Thanks
Wayne.
