OGo advantage might be understood as unifying element in user's data. So 
after creating "a project", all [usually needed] relevant data can be 
grouped together (files, mails etc.).

One problem might be in integration of "OGo style" of datafile storage 
and Samba as there is no (AFAIK) automatic access rights handling when 
accessing OGo data through Samba. There is one Bugreport enh post for 
creation of Samba VFS module than would handle that (AFAIK no one is 
working on it). Another possibility is to access OGo datafiles through 
WebDAV. (skyprojectd or maybe Zidestore. Don't know if ZS implementation 
of WebDAV is finished. Haven't tested any of these yet)

There might be two equations:

MS Server 2000 ~ (might be) Linux + Samba + LDAP + CUPS [lprng ...] (+ 
DHCP, BIND, Postfix ...)

OGo ~ MS Exchange (so it's a MS Server 2000 + Exchange)

it depends what do you expect to handle on your net.
