I was able to get the Exchange client working in both a clean install of
FC3 and an upgrade from FC2 to FC3. Make sure you have the correct
Global Catalog server. I installed the Exchange client after the
install/upgrade. Everything seemed to work fine including the
calendaring

However, I did run into a problem once it started running. My system
became very sluggish, my memory utilization went up to 100% with 5% for
cache. I then kill'd EVO, and the system memory utilization started
dropping. I started EVO again, and the problem came back. So I disabled
Exchange and restarted EVO. I have been running like this now for 3 days
and my memory utilization is 85% with 19% cache.

I hope they can fix this soon so I don't have to use Windoze....
