EBS public beta now open - come & get it!
.jpg "hero")
As referenced last week, the long awaited public beta program for Windows Essential Business Server 2008 is now open. Woo-hoo!
This is a key milestone in the launch timeline & following yesterday's pricing announcement, I really expect the interest & intensity to skyrocket. We're still on track for a launch in Microsoft's Q1 of FY09 (read July-Sept) & so now's the time to start to get your head around what EBS 2008 could mean for both you & your mid-market customers.
Loads of good TechNet support content here, including license keys for up to an additional 50 trial users.
System requirements here.
EBS 2008 installation guide here.
The Small Business Server 2008 beta will available in a couple of weeks. You can register your interest here to get notified of it's release.
Cheers & looking forward to your feedback.

PS - Australia is currently ranked 3rd for EBS beta enrolment, behind only the US & the UK by one download! Great to see the local interest. :-)

Yes, but it won't be through the official site. I'll have a couple of hundred of these to send out & will set-up the process locally. So if you're happy to wait, watch this space. Robbie
