"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."
Hmmm well I'm not an expert so whatever you say however from my
understanding it is the server that notifies the handset that there is
email available for it not the handset polling the server.
In my definition .....that's push email (also does it for contact/tasks
etc changes as well).

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.
