So SBS 2003 was without doubt a rip snorter of a success story for both Microsoft, and small businesses the world over. With a cracker combination of technologies, it really did lift the bar as far as small business tech was concerned. Now that SBS 2008 is shipping, it will be interesting to see how it goes. To put my thoughts out there, I’m expecting it to a solid, polished product, which provides just as much value as SBS 2003. At this stage, I can’t see any compelling reasons to upgrade from SBS 2003 though, so the uptake I think is going to be slow and gentle (just the way it should be). As SBS 2003 servers come to end of life, and for those businesses not yet on SBS at all, I think the new product will prove to be an excellent choice.
