Microsoft expands licensing program for mobile Exchange
Microsoft announced Thursday it expanded its Exchange ActiveSync IP licensing program and posted technical documents to spur development of prototype applications that link to its Exchange Server and Exchange ActiveSync-enabled mobile phones.
The Exchange ActiveSync software is designed to allow mobile phones to receive wireless push e-mail, as well as synchronize calendar, contacts and tasks. It also aims to allow companies to manage wireless devices and enact security policies.
The software giant also posted the protocols on the Microsoft Developer Network and expanded the licensing program to establish greater clarity on the steps and licensing terms that are needed when other companies want to commercialize the ActiveSync applications.

Microsoft so missed the Internet Boat and they are now irrelevant for many people,
Companies like Google are more in touch with todays tech.
MS Exchange is a head of the game and is trusted and used by other mobile providers including Nokia and Apples iPhone! and makes their mobile-me service possible! Opening up Exchange will make further services possible.
