I've been looking and working with Outlook 2003 and have been told (no
specifics besides Global Address Lists) that there are 'extra' things
that an Exchange server can provide in terms of email, calendars, etc?

Public folders containing Contacts and Calendar folders everyone can
reference, mailbox sharing and delegation so that assistants can screen
mesages for executives and send mail on their behalf, server-based antivirus
scanning so that individual client systems don't have to do that, rules that
work even when the client machine is not running, a global address list so
that all employee mail addresses are available and don't have to be
duplicated in each person's Contacts folder are some of the advantages.
