So why bothering shipping Exchange 2013 at all, when the only use will be in a new W2012 forest without any exchange installed? I guess it will be mostly existing Exchange users that will consider a SP zero version of a new release anyway..

@SteveP: Thanks for the feedback.

It's not always possible to release all related products together - Exchange Server 2013 has just reached the General Availability (GA) milestone few days ago, and the team's working hard to get Exchange 2010 SP3 out to you soon! It's on track for release in Q1 2013 along with the Exchange 2007 update, as announced in Exchange Server 2013 reaches General Availability.

@Graham541: You don't need to give your boss a letter for that - you can install Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012. Please see Exchange 2013 System Requirements :)

If you do need to explain why Exchange 2010 won't run on Windows Server 2012, you can explain that Windows Server 2012 was not released until more than three years after the release of Exchange 2010, and Exchange 2010 SP3, to be released in Q1 2013, will add Windows Server 2012 support.

This sucks. How can you release a products and they don't gel together.

Go Linux & Amazon. It just works.

PS: Can you draft a simple letter for me to give to my boss explaining why we can't install exchange 2013 on Windows 2012.

I think this is a bigger problem with Microsoft and it is very frustrating. Releasing a new version product, such as Exchange 2013 or Windows 2012, but not having the surrounding pieces ready. This issue of having to wait almost 3-5 months for SP3 to come out or for System Center sp1 to come out 6 months after Windows 2012. They need to either hold off on releasing or get their act together.

Desperately waiting for SP3. This is a joke.
