Microsoft heeft na de bèta in april en de release candidate in augustus dan eindelijk Exchange Server 2010 uitgebracht. De ontwikkelaars van Microsoft bouwen voort op de code van Exchange Server 2007 en hebben behoorlijk wat veranderingen aangebracht. Outlook Web Access is omgedoopt tot Outlook Web App en kan nu ook met non-IE-browsers volledig gebruikt worden.

Ook loopt op er ons forum een topic waar deze nieuwe telg door verschillende beheerders en enthousiastelingen wordt besproken. De beknopte beschijving van deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
