Based on experience at a number of jobs, Exchange may appear to be easy to configure, but as soon as you get past the utterly basic configuration, when management or other departments want more, it then becomes a major headache.
I like to say that Windows is easier to install and initially configure, but Linux is much easier to FIX. Things will always go wrong. Closed-source Windows software hides everything and its GUI often lies about the true state of what's going on under the hood. Open-source software can be cracked open and I can dig down to root cause of any problems. Check out the free support forums at Microsoft. It's pretty hopeless. Responses to problems with open source software are generally much more informative. Open source advocates love to show off how they can fix problems. Closed source engineers aren't allowed to share solutions with the public. If you really want support, you're going to have to pay for it. So pay for the product, pay for the support, and nag them like you own them. Or go with open source and pay a consultant. (Or a hungry college student.)
