You know what I don't get?  If public folders are 'widely used' I've never fully understood why Microsoft is indeed so anti-public folders.  Is it scalability in large envirornments?  Security issues?  I've never fully understood why they don't support well at all something that even in their own words "is widely used".

Hush :) I love their direction.

Nobody should ever use public folders. However, if you're (pretty much every Exchange organization out there that needs them and wants to outsource it) talk to me :)

Again, kudos to BPOS for yet another self inflicted headshot.

Because public folders suck and they want you to move to Sharepoint. But Sharepoint also has a lot of limitations currently. Like don't use it to store a lot of documents in because SQL was not made for that. Use Documentum with the Sharepoint front end interface.
