Ok, so Microsoft has finally gotten around to making SBS 2008 a real product. It even now has its own web site :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/essential/sbs/default.mspx
Still digesting exactly what all the information means but I thought this was interesting :
It has the following components as standard
- Windows Server 2008 x64
- Exchange 2007
- Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
- Windows Live OneCare for Server <<– **
- Subscription to Forefront Security for Exchange Server Small Business Edition <<– **
- Integration with Office Live Small Business <<– **
- Enhancements to mobile and remote working tools and management
So Microsoft is trying to make SBS 2008 an all encompassing product eh? I wonder how the people at Trend feel now they are getting cut out?
The whole press release is here :

I’ll write some more when I’ve had time to digest all this new info.
