[TriLUG] ldap authentication from Active directory or NTDS

[Ryan Leathers]

Getting a bit off topic, but I have used the SuSE OpenExchange product
mentioned and can confirm that it works great for Outlook users except
for calendar sharing / meeting invitations.  It has its own web based
stuff which works great, but Outlook users really just want it to all
happen in Outlook.  

Which do you think will happen first:
A) A new Outlook upgrade will handle calendaring using an open standard
B) End users will lose interest in calendaring stuff
C) SuSE or somebody else will figure out how to make this work
D) On the coat tails of their SFU announcement Microsoft will port all
applications to Linux to ease the integration troubles of customers
