My reasons are

1. x64 based
2. Unified Messaging
3. The Replication Services LCR & CCR
4. OWA and it's intergration with Sharepoint (Link Access and WebReady Document Viewing)
5. AD true intergration with 2007 (Auto Profiling "Autodiscover")
6. RPC over HTTP
7. Journaling (WHO is e-mail bad stuff about me LOL)
8. POWERSHELL
9. Cleaner I/O usage
10. did I say x64 with cleaner I/O and Sharepoint Intergration in OWA hummm making sure...

I think Microsoft is doing it well.  Enought to get us a hungry for the technology and providing enought business justifications.  It's hard to get the "I makes my job easier" addage passed accounting. 

 But, tell the CEO if he losses his Smartphone while at a customer site, he can go online to wipe his PDA so that his info doesn't leak.... THATS GOOD....
