NeoNinoo, from everything that I have read, Exchange is not getting the Yukon-based (next generation SQL-based) store until the successor to Titanium. My gut feeling is that not a whole lot of development work will come to fruition in Titanium... essentially, it will be Exchange 6.1--a point release. The Exchange database developer team has reportedly been moved to work on Yukon (the codename for the new storage technology). There will be some greater wireless support and some other nifty stuff, but the real meat of the development work that has been going on won't see light until the successor to Titanium.
I think that the IFS component of Exchange is the predecessor to the technology behind Yukon, and I think that the Exchange 2000 users were sort of a pilot for that concept. It is really the same idea--essentially, an NTFS driver to a database store. However, it is an elementary implementation of what Yukon is aiming to achieve... there are permissions issues, backup/restore issues (don't backup your "M:" drive!!), etc., with implementation in IFS that will need to be resolved with the new Yukon store.
