Thank you but...

Looks like a MICROSOFT website.
Totally bias towards SBS2003

NOT very useful - and a damn insult to anyone with ANY intelligence!

Even the little I've managed to RESEARCH (not dream up as in the link) in

Yes, I thought it was worth looking up.

Current Product is Novell Small Business - available BEFORE MS SBS2003 went
to market
so no excuse for the FUD tactics.

Very little about the Novell seems to be true and the MS stuff is hyped up.
