Microsoft Introduces New Tool for Small Business Server Partners

Microsoft Introduces New Tool for Small Business Server Partners

The Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 R2-Windows® SharePoint® Services (WSS) Starter Kit demonstrates how SBS partners can achieve higher margins and increase customer satisfaction through customized SBS 2003 R2 and WSS solutions that help customers centralize and share information, improve collaboration and teamwork, automate business processes, and increase productivity and efficiency. The Starter Kit offers a best practices “cookbook” of sales-through-delivery processes, technical guidance, training guides, white papers, sales scripts and marketing tools from successful SBS partners deploying SBS-WSS solutions.

If that's the same CDrom that I got upon attending the Small Business Symposium I was surprised that it was touting SBS 2003 R2 and WSS 3.0.  It seems not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask about how to get an exposed SSL connection to WSS 3.0 instead of Companyweb.  I just found it strange that they are pushing WSS 3.0 without seemingly providing a complete solution in the side by side instruction.

P.S. David has a post on how to do it here - http://davidschrag.com/schlog/167/installing-wss-30-on-sbs-2003-standard

Any idea where I actually can find this WSS 3.0 Starter Kit?  I found the press release, but nowhere to actually get the kit.
