Until MS is able to (i) get the right info. in front of the IT people and SysAdmin people and (ii) change the mindset of IT departments generally, that there are secure, efficient and cost effective alternatives to the BB / BES platform, the comparison and issus is moot.
I was forced to return my HP 69xx because my IT department would not allow me access to the Exchange server to AS "over the air". They cited their familiarity with the BES and lack of familiarity and concerns with bandwith and security of the MS solution.
It may be as good if not better, than the RIM solution, but in the "real world" MS needs to do a much better job of working with the people on the ground (i.e. IT departments) to get this information across to the people that make the decisions (and not just to gadget people / early adopters like myself)
