After a month-long delay, Microsoft on Tuesday released an update to a version of Windows for small businesses that includes new features for patching PCs and a $200 price cut.
Microsoft's "release 2" update to Windows Small Business Server 2003 comes in two editions. A premium edition bundles Windows Server, Exchange Server 2003, and SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition for a list price of $1,299, a $200 reduction compared to Small Business Server 2003, released three years ago. A standard edition bundles Windows Server and Exchange for $599. Customers will also pay a $99 client access license fee for each PC or user that connects to the server, up to a limit of 75.
Again, this is good news. I'm not sure how many small businesses use this software, but considering it's MicroSoft, I'd guess quite a few regardless of how good the software is.
