Okay so clearly it's not quite there yet.  But man this has been concerning to more than a few partners of why it's taken Dell so long to come out with an OEM version of SBS Essentials.'

TS130's make for nice systems for SBSe with extra beefiness.  Make sure you get them in TopSeller models though, since that is where major savings are found.  Also, don't forget to register them under Lenovo's TAP for cashback rebates.  Got my cheque just yesterday and it was a WHOPPER!  The SBSe ROK SKU is 84971EE.

FYI:  Lenovo is now the #2 PC maker in the world now.
