If you have the requirement to plan for Exchange 2007 (who doesn't?) you will find the latest Build of the System Center Capacity Planner 2007 (SCCP2k7) available through the Microsoft Connect Web Site. The SCCP2k7 is a Capacity Planning Tool that 'models' an Exchange 2007 Configuration detailing things like 1) Number of Servers, 2) Server by Role, 3) Client Processing Capacity, 4) Disk Drive Requirements, 5) Processor Requirements, 6) Wide Area Network Link Consumption and many additional details. This useful Tool is nearing the Version 2007 designation (albeit approaching Calendar 2008).
