SBS 2008 and EBS 2008 RTM Bits Shipping to Partners

We've just had an update from our Microsoft colleagues in Seattle that the RTM bits of SBS 2008 and EBS 2008 will be shipped in the October editions of the Microsoft Action Pack (MAPS) box, Small Business Specialist Toolkit, and the quarterly box for Certified and Gold Certified partners. Small Business Specialists will receive 15 additional CALs for SBS/EBS in their kit. In the quarterly Certified/Gold Certified boxes, the RTM bits will be available for download only.  For EBS, paper CALs will be included in the boxes.

Make sure you start using the bits internally and start to test the RTM version ASAP to get the full experience.
