exchange email?

[David Ford]

Microsoft "push email" isn't push at all.  If you read the 
specifications, it's just another method of polling a server to 
determine if and what segments of new content is ready for transfer.

Just like ETRN, POP3, and IMAP, none of it requires human intervention 
and all of it can poll for new content.  There is nothing new about it 
logically.  It's simply Microsoft catching up with functionality and 
marketing a new label to try and draw attention to "new fancy 
technology" with exchange.

POP3 and IMAP have had this functionality for a long time.  They just 
don't use HTTP to handle it.
