Exchange is actually very inexpensive, if you already have the Windows
Server with Active directory for your users... That's one of the things
that's been bothering me of late. If you need the commercial version of
open source solutions (for the exchange plugin that makes them work with
Outlook, for example), they very quickly become more expensive than
exchange.
