Microsoft revealed details of the
next version of Windows OS for small businesses. The company formally
introduced a new product line aimed at small business server (SBS). 
Microsoft
Windows SBS 2008, formally code-named "Cougar," is one of two software
bundles in the company's new Windows Essential Server Solutions line.
It also
includes Windows Essential Business Server 2008, formerly code-named
"Centro" , aimed at mid-sized companies. Both products are based on
the same code as Windows Server 2008, the next version of Microsoft's
enterprise server OS.
List of products in Essential line bundle
- Microsoft's messaging software
- Exchange Server
- Security products
"Based on our conversations with customers and
partners, we felt the mid-market IT is a much different customer than a
small-business owner, so we wanted to respect that in the way we
designed the management UI for each product," said Steven VanRoekel,
senior director in the server and tools division at Microsoft.
More information about SBS 2008 and Windows Essential Business Server 2008 can be found on Microsoft's Web site.
