Jim, help me out here then fella - it's running fine here on a domain-based system. Never causes any problems, always behaves, and hasn't stopped anything else working.
Granted it's a little awkward to configure for programs that need more ports than usual open, but generally-speaking it's better behaved and uses less resources than Kerio (which I swore by before now).
Is it just that you don't trust Bill Gates or is there another reason you don't like it? Think I should lose it?
