Calendering, yes. But what about push for email and contacts?  I got  
fed up with waiting for Apple to make it happen and stopped using OS X  
Server for Email hosting and moved to Exchange Server 2003.

And to my surprise, it actually works really well.  Sure, there are  
issues to work around but in the end, it's all about making the end  
users happy.  Comparing OWA with Squirrelmail isn't even funny, just  
as a very simple example, and we're talking about a product (Exchange  
Server 2003) that was released five years ago.
