Okay so maybe we need just a smidge more spin right there?

In the newsgroup someone asked what the benefits were to upgrade from SBS 2000 to 2003 and a follow up poster indicated that a link on the SBS home page probably needed just a smidge in the way of more "spin"

The link is for "Benefits of Upgrading"...there's one problem... it's all about "how" to upgrade and not "why" you would want to upgrade.  Okay so that page could need a bit more marketing spin done on that one....

So why would you want to upgrade from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003?

  • Sharepoint
  • 75 gig mail store with Exchange 2003 sp2
  • ISA 2004
  • Better security, patching, monitoring (okay so I'm probably the one that considers this the cool feature)
  • and the killer reason of all... Remote Web Workplace (and I swear if you are in the SBS marketplace and one more of you go 'Huh? What's that?" I just may go ballistic on ya guys one of these days...)

These days there is one more...being supported.  And while migrations is sucky.... staying on a platform that has no support is even more so. 

Technology that has no Mothership support isn't good enough.  Not these days.  Especially not if you are an agile company.
