No, they are not the same ...

the difference is that with SBS you not only get W2K3 Server + Exchange 2K3
+ OWA + Remote Web Workplace (RWW) + Remote Admin TS + Firewall ---

but Microsoft has tested and configured these apps to work together when you
install SBS, especially in a 2 NIC card (preferred) scenario ---

plus you get a slew of SBS wizards that do not come in the standard packages
to help you setup your server (the Exchange gurus were drooling over the
wizards that the SBS development team came up with) ---

plus you get all of us to help answer your questions ---

plus you can upgrade to SBS Premium and get ISA and SQL!
