And the reason for Microsoft to include this nice extra?

"It comes with Exchange 2003 because Office 11 has features office xp doesn't and you need to see the compatibility between office 11 and exchange 2003"

Obviously some Office11 beta testers have had there feathers ruffled by this move, and have been left wondering why have a private beta if Microsoft are just going to give out the code to anyone that wants it anyway.
