Exchange 2007 public folders

[anything I don't mind]

In exchange 2003 there was a very simple but effective GUI for modifying public folder permissions. I have been doing some reading and it looks like M$ has decided to remove the gui and go back to a command shell. Am i correct in saying that microsoft have removed this gui completely.

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation why they would remove the gui and replace it with command shell ?

Ok nevermind i figured it out, they have updated a small buggy software app from 2005 that works with exchange 2010 public folders. It requires .net 1.1. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22427

my theory on why they plan to get rid of public folders is because they want to sell their sharepoint product.

Ok thanks, staring me right in the face. Just looking at it on exchange 2010 and can't seem to find basic permission features. This software from 2005 worked ok though.
