Last year I paid $7200 for TX2, This year, I will pay over $10,000. If I can get rid of that overhead and a couple os servers, that is a big savings.

Paying over 10,000 USD a year for what Microsoft will *give you* for free.
ActiveSync has already been picked up by Nokia, SE, Samsung, MOT, et al - why will Corporate America, already drinking the MSExchange Kool-Aid, continue giving more money to RIM when they can do the same thing with what they have?
Nevermind the improvements that using a BlackBerry brings - the great keyboard, the fast UI, and easy shortcuts - on a balance sheet they're both just ways of getting emails into your pocket, and "free" will trump "ten thousand yew ess dollars" every day of the week.
