Cris,
I agree with you when it comes to 2003's remote access and managment, much
more fluid than 2000 could ever be.
However, not to throw gasoline on the fire, each client has individual
needs. I've found that my clients simply cannot live without MSN within
their network. The nature of their business coupled with the physical
layout of their office makes it a must. I was serverly disappointed to
learn that SBS2003/Exchange had dropped this from it's built-in feature
list.
As a side note, 100% of my clients use SQL.
And for those who are wondering where you can get SBS2000 plus client add
packs (without going through Microsoft) ah.....e-Bay!
