That is kinda lame, especially when one wants to just install it in a
test environment to get one's feet wet at the minimum. In a test
environment I really cant imagine the OS will use anywhere near that
much; and if so, that is quite a miserable situation.
Hell, just puking on a CPU difference of 530 mhz, that is beyond lame.
I mean for real, you dont see Linux vomiting over certain
requirements, it'll be perfectly happy to install on incredibly,
totally substandard hardware, where it will be doing nothing but swap
the entire time. To be so draconian is really disturbing.

Maybe. I did the beta and RC on a box with a Xeon 3000 2.13GHz CPU,

Downloaded the RTM code and tried to install on the same box and it
wouldn't
install. Kept failing about not meeting requirements. After much
wondering
finally looked at the requirements listed on the DVD. CPU was bumped
to
2.66GHz. Hmmmm, when did that change. Put in a 2.80GHz CPU and the
install
went through just fine. Kind of a pain having to get a new CPU just
to run
it in the office with just a couple of users.
I don't remember anyone on the beta forums trying it out on less. Most
recommend more RAM. Several have virtualized SBS2008 on VMware and
Hyper-V
with no or few issues.

So, todays the official release of SBS 2008 I suppose?
Has anyone installed the trial version on something less then the
minimum
requirements listed on their webpage? They are listing 4GB RAM and
60GB
Hard Disk space. Will it absolutely refuse to install if you have
less?
Since I want to learn this code, I was thinking about virtualizing
it on my
laptop; hence it has to run on less then that. Maybe 2gb of RAM and
30GB
hdd space I can spare, so, anyone tried that out yet?
