That is interesting. That means one extra license in each deployment. Or do you have them all hosted on a datacenter server somewhere? On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 11:52 AM, Michael B.

That way an organization could go from their one SBS server to a single EBS server when the time came. There is really no reason for SBS and EBS to be sold as DVDs in a package, they should be VMs that are loaded onto a host.

Too many medium size businesses seem to be either downsizing or just closing shop. Add virtualization to the mix and it was kill for the product. It was a great idea though.
