Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who couldn't make heads or
tails of that mess. I've read it twice and I still don't understand the
whole thing. I especially like this sentence:
"Microsoft is stepping up its commitment to our enterprise customers with
new licensing programs and offerings that are simpler to understand and
administer."
Simpler?

This is crap.. If they decide to discontinue anything it should be SBS not
BO.
Anyone read MS page on the new "Core CAL" in regards to BO. A lawyer must
have drafted it cause it's a page and half of gibberish.

I don't get it. If I Buy BO now and Software Assurance, then MS will issue
me standalone CAL's for the BO components on Oct 1?

Sorry, further reading shows that no trusts are supported, 50 clients max.
on the network and all SBS components installed on the same server. Aaagh.
Thanks

I thought SBS 4.5 did not support trusts and was limited to roughly 25
clients. But it appears that SBS 2000 can support more clients than that
provided you purchase the CAL packs, etc. But does it also support trusts?
Is the Exchange 2000 included with SBS 2000 a "full version" or does it have
some limitation?
Thanks,
Bruce

Check out these MS links: www.microsoft.com/sbserver
www.microsoft.com/backofficeserver/default.asp
The content has changed a bit since the last time I visited there. I was
considering getting BO 2000 but when I saw that I went to SBS 2000.
HTH,
