That link explains the mixed UM/VM licensing in 4.2 that you can do and limitations, interactions, etc.

Sounds like more of a management/admin issue in the end though, as you still need to have seperate account for a VM only user in a unified environment plus now have to worry about different functionality between users, etc. I don't know what the license costs are, but I'm guessing a VM subscriber license is a bit cheaper then a unified user license maybe. Maybe not.

To be honest, if you aren't doing Unified, then you should probably
not spend the cash for Unity and just get Cisco Unity Connections
instead...

However, it seems that migrating from Unified to VM only should be
straight-forward, just point your email clients at a different mail
store (Notes, different Exchange, etc)...

The question is why you would want to reduce functionality, unless you
are getting short of disk space and need to move vmails off of your
corp Exchange...

The problem is in the migration itself. Moving chunks of mailboxes is
not feasibile (unless you are a masochist and love exmerge).
