[Martin Heiland]

A time ago somebody one the IRC made a joke if Open-Xchange is able to run on Microsoft Windows, well... after half an hour of investigating...

Works quite perfect

Next step is to get a IIS running with the Apache JServ Protocol, a MSSQL Database Backend and a Microsoft Exchange Server for E-Mail... but... well any donations?

Well you could use David Harris' Mercury server, which
would be free for testing and non-profits and is available to commercial sites
at much lower cost than Exchange also has it's own IMAP server...plus if you had Exchange why would you need Ox? Apache/Tomcat runs quite well on Windows also so no need for IIS.

Of course, i could also use cygwin to run all required software without using ported software. This is not a very serious project, i just wanted to find out if it works and what is required, installing mysql and apache on windows is no real challange
