AppLauncher is why my accounting firms use and ProSystems is looking into
endorsing as for TS it locks down the server. But to host on your SBS?!?!
No way, all my clients host on my colocated box that is professionally
managed for 99.9999% uptime. OWA is ok with https/ssl, RWW is just like TS
except that you are letting them access everything except what you want and
some firms may not want that freedom. Something to think of.
