OK, perhaps it is asking a little bit much when the purchase price is 5p less than £100, but Microsoft Office 2008 Home and Student edition has no Microsoft Exchange support.

Now undoubtedly you’ll be able to get and send your email via IMAP or POP (as long as the IT Staff have allowed this) but as for the collaborative features? Forget it.

The people who this really messes about with is education professionals - or more importantly, their budgets in situations where Exchange is the central mail system. Rather than paying £100, they’ll now need to pay £349 (£219 on upgrade) for the required functionality. Ouch.
