What new features of Exchange 2010 am I excited about? The improved IO performance, database availability groups for increased failover are two big ones on the server side. Users will be excited about faster searching, and great new features like "Ignore Conversation" and automatic transcription previews of voicemails.
I wonder if there is an "Ignore Conversation" feature for real life? Or is that "talk to the hand?"
