WHS doesn't official support Exchange. I *think* that I have tried to
install exchange on WHS and the installer complains it doesn't
recognise the OS.

I run Slimserver, uTorrent, CACTI, Photo Gallery & a few other small
websites. All on one of the original TranquillPC WHS box solutions. So
far no problems at all.

To get freaky I have also run WHS as a virtual server using VMware
ESX! The only problem I had as I need use VMWare Convertered off a
working server rather than a new install as again the installer
wouldn' work with VMWare - can't remember why.
