But you might want to contact Wind River, they might have a migration guide you could cite. (Although I would speculate that a migration guide the OTHER way might be easier to find) Also, some of your questions are curiously irrelevant. Exchange server? VPN. Where did you get this survey anyways? Is it copyrighted? Cheers.
