Can anyone confirm this?
According to this Microsoft Document, the 16gb limit of the Information store hasn't existed since the release candidates (betas) of Exchange 5.5! I have seen many people talk about the 16gb limit, and the necessity to upgrade to the more exspensive Enterprise Edition.
Some other Microsoft documents clearly state a 16 gb limit exists in the size of stores of 5.5 Standard Edition.
I wonder if many of the CD's distributed as 5.5 final were actually Candidate versions. (For example, the CDs distributed immediately after release to upper-tier customers like MS Solution Providers and MSDN subscribers) I have seen before where my MSDN apps that claim to be final are different than the versions I download from MS after they become available online few days later. (Usually it's impossible to tell except that they are different at the binary level. Exact same version stamp, exact same language codepage, but a different size or CRC.) Is that what they did here? The only way to confirm this for sure will be if someone has a 16+ gig store and 5.5 Standard.
