When you consider that Longhorn is still a way off, and that the SBS-integration of Longhorn is even further, I think R2 makes sense.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774202673967216234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209371.post-1152763276537078432006-07-12T23:01:00.000-05:002006-07-12T23:01:00.000-05:00Terry, I think we're in general agreement.

So, I would guess (having not looked at any of the projected timelines) that the next version of SBS - assuming no R2 release - would be even further out in the future. And that doesn't stick with Microsoft's plans of accelerating the release cycle of their OS's.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774202673967216234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209371.post-1152643353818689752006-07-11T13:42:00.000-05:002006-07-11T13:42:00.000-05:00Nick, I'll not speak for Vlad's motivations, but f...Nick, I'll not speak for Vlad's motivations, but from my POV I agree that SBS 4.5/2000 installs are perfect candidates for SBS R2. But an existing SBS 2003 SP1 install w/o SA, I don't see a reason to sell them R2, especially since we deploy WSUS already. Still, I don't think R2 is irrelevant, I just think it's a bit premature. Six more months and they could have added WSS v3.0 and Exchange '07 and really made a great release.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044550871175822936noreply@blogger.com
