For a small office, consider Microsoft Small Business Server. You can do a basic setup for around $2,500 - $3,000 for 15 users. That would include server hardware and the OS.
SBS includes Exchange and the basic license is actually less than Server 2003 by itself. That includes 5 CALs so you'd need to buy 10 more for around $100 - $200 extra.
A Linux solution would cost less for the software since it's free but you will lose that to the consulting fees to get it all running unless you're a Linux expert in your own right. If that was the case, you wouldn't be asking the question.

Check out www.gordano.com . It runs similar to MSFT Exchange at a fraction of the cost. I guarantee the tech support is the best I have ever seen.
We use it for 50 users, and up to 100 is what we are licensed for. Works great with Outlook or Outlook Express, plus a web-based interface.
