Microsoft Small Business Server

MicrosoftSmallBusinessServer (SBS) is a suite of tools from MS aimed at the small business. In a recent interview there were comments made where a senior MS manager concurred with the assertion that products such as MicrosoftSmallBusinessServer serve to solidify the company's lead in markets targeted by the LampPlatform.

I take it to mean the package hit the sweetspot in the balance act between costs, functionality, manageability, etc.

Different versions are available, see more at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/evaluation/features/default.mspx
