Windows Small Business Server 2008 RTM’s today (8/21/08)
Well, the title pretty much says it all. General availability (product available in Retail and Volume Licensing) is planned for early October, and the Windows Essential Server System (WESS includes SBS 2008 and Essentials Business Server 2008) will be officially launched world-wide on November 12th. Yes, my Registered Partner readers, SBS 2008 will be in the Action Pack (as will EBS), but I can’t say for sure yet that it will make it into the October MAPS update (although I think the chances are good).
Here’s some links to some WESS and SBS 2008 specific resources:
MSPP Windows Essential Server Solutions (on partner portal, this is a great resource, be sure to check this out)
Windows SBS 2008 TechNet Library (updated for RTM)
The SBS Official Blog
WESS webcasts
and, last but not least, make sure you also check out this link on the Partner Portal for access to an SBS click-thru demo as well as a Technical Training webcast series.
