The Guardian talks SBS 2008

There is a great piece of coverage on installing and using Windows Small Business Server 2008 in The Guardian today. The online version is available here: https://www.guardian.co.uk/enterprisesupplement/microsoft-sbs but if you have a copy of the paper it appears on page 7 of the Enterprise supplement.

The piece is narrative in style and favourable in tone, stating that SBS is well thought out. Unfortunately there is no direct reference to the SBSC partner channel, thought he journalist (Kate Bevan) does quote our Windows Server product Manager, Gareth Hall, who clearly points to small business specialists for those businesses that lack a tech-minded expert!

Here's a quote I pulled from the online version:

"The big question: is it worth it? It's certainly do-able, although I must confess I've had help from one extremely geeky friend — a programmer and a reseller of webhosting on Linux servers. He reckons that I'm pretty capable, but I was glad to have his help..."

"...He (Gareth Hall) points out that most people get a specialist in to install and maintain this kind of system, adding that I'm in the second, much smaller group of users: "a tech-minded small businessperson who likes a challenge."

You’ll see at the bottom of the article that Kate has also been blogging about her experiences and she gives a very positive endorsement of David Overtons blog.
