Not every company offers OWA for users. Also, I can't remember the exact 
details, but I do remember some features not being fully supported with the 
web client. Don't quote me on that, but the idea is in the back of my head. 
Plus, between you, me, and everyone on this list, I'm not a big fan of web 
interfaces. They just tend to be clunky, and you can't really integrate 
local applications with web interfaces very well, if at all. Just my 
opinion of course.

Regards, Dustin
