I looked at it again and they said it would be released this summer.
I put their email to me at www.lafn.org/~dave/msexchange.txt.  They
say "Welcome to Linux World" but don't actually say that they are
exhibiting there.  So if and when they actually release it they may
spam me again

Even though it's not yet released, one might expect them to have a
public announcement about it.  Unless they don't want potential
competitors to know about it.
