It does a lot more than that. It has the calendering, reserving of 
conference rooms, meeting scheduling, to-do lists, all the permissions of 
getting heirarchical groups of people looking at calendars and to-do lists, 
revocable email, one message shared between lots of poeple, offline 
synchronization of all that stuff, etc etc.

It does *tons* of stuff. You just don't use it.

You often seem to argue from a position of ignorance. Rather than argue "X 
doesn't do anything more useful than Y", you should probably ask "What does 
X do that's more useful than Y" when you don't know the answer.

How can you be IT support for a windows-based company and not understand the 
terms "windows logins" and "remote administration"?

And where does it say anything about root access there?
