* Exchange/outlook - Works fine with Apple Mail.app, iCal and Address<br>
Book. There are some slight oddities about looking up resources in<br>
iCal, but that may be specific to our AD tree<br>
* Skype for Business (formerly Lync) - Horrible. The client is trash,<br>
both unstable and unpleasant to use. There seem to be some serious<br>
flaws in the underlying protocol, we often get "oops message was not<br>
delivered" several hours after message seemed to have been sent<br>
* OneDrive for Business - this is NOT their usual dropbox-clone, but<br>
essentially a pre-configured sharepoint site. Not at all useful for<br>
moving files around since there's no non-windows client support<br>
