>>The shop was told by Microsoft that if the company did not
switch to Exchange internally, it would lose its Platinum ranking, said a source at the integrator. <<

The exact same threat was made to one of our Education partners that was also a Microsoft ATEC. "Unless you remove GroupWise and replace it with Exchange, you will be unable to qualify for ATEC II status."

What is so frustrating is that Microsoft uses their abundant resources to have sales and marketing people in the faces of absolutely every partner in the field. Their competitors simply can't keep up with all the freebies and attention that MS floods their partners with and eventually has to settle for the back seat.
