Many companies think of outsourcing their ms exchange hosting and sharepoint services rather than deal with all the services and management themselves.
It is debatable topic of whether this is the best thing to do or not for a company but it does result in cost savings.
While surfing for good hosting providers providing ms exchange hosting services I came across an exchange hosting ROI calculator which indicates how much you would save depending on users using wireless and normal services. The ROI calculator is available at intermedia

Sharepoint portal server and Exchange server 2000 running on same machine
Web storage system now called the exchange information store is the base of Sharepoint portal server(SPS) and exchange server 2000. Both the services use almost similar http methods and support web DAV. Application developed on these Exchange Stores can be replicated to other servers, backed up and restored using off-the-shelf utilities, and can take advantage of anti-virus software.
SPS can be referred to as an application which extends the EIS - database functions, application procedures and all. It enables document sharing, indexing and team folders with little to no interaction from the IT staff by allowing the managers to create work places. This means that users can create their own applications using SPS very easily.
Running both the services on the same box would mean slowing down your enterprise and the box :) - Both of them basically use the same methodology and use similar resources however provide different assistance. This would mean that running both our of same box would be an overhaul on the resources and depreciate performance.
one thumb rule Not to do things just because you can !

Outlook live - microsoft exchange server
Outlook live is the rebranded version of Exchange labs. It is basically OWA included with Exchange 14.
A video on ms exchange server video loaded here shows the Outlook live features basic features.
One the biggest features included in multi browser support for premium version of OWA.
Microsoft says:
"One of the biggest features we're announcing today is multi-browser support for the premium version of Outlook Web Access (OWA). With Exchange 14, you can access the premium version of OWA or Outlook Live with Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. We’ve always supported all browsers with what we call “OWA Light”, a simpler version of OWA. The difference now is that you can get the full rich experience with drag ‘n drop & the rest of that AJAX-y goodness in all three browsers. I have to say, I've been dying to tell you about this, especially after all the comments on our last video! Openness has always been part of Exchange's DNA, which you can see from how we license Exchange ActiveSync to partners and competitors alike, in the variety of mobile phones we support, from the iPhone to Nokia phones to Windows Mobile, in our support for web services, and now in the browsers we support."
