I am responsible for a large estate of mixed windows/linux machines. Our office setup is Windows, our development and production systems are linux. We offer full support for Linux desktops for our dev team, and do what we can to integrate linux systems into the windows environment, and all our windows planning and implementations take linux desktops into account. Recently though, I have had to ask linux users to stop Evolution talking to our Exchange servers, and to please consider no longer using Evolution.

Evolution talking to Exchange places an abnormally high load on our exchange servers, and those using evolution have serious stability issues on their workstations, as well as very high CPU and memory usage. As an alternative, we provide Outlook via Citrix, and this works great. Only issue we are trying to sort out is syncing to phones/PDA's via USB.
