Windows Small Business Server 2008

While I was on my vacation, Microsoft announced the future availability of Windows Small Business Server 2008, or SBS 2008. The official launch date is now locked to November 12th, which is soon here if days go as fast in the future as they have in the past two months.

Developers targeting this operating system edition can assume similar features as Windows Server 2008 and Exchange Server 2007 combined, optionally with SQL Server 2008 installed. Of course, you could also detect specifically, if the Windows OS version is a SBS server.
