No, I spoke about the SBS World... I think at the price point and feature point the Exchange 2007 & SharePoint integration are answering a LOT of SMB questions, a lot of SBS questions. A lot of SBS questions that people are parting with thousands upon thousands of dollars to solve - such as UM, such as document management, such as archiving, such as policies, such as auditing, such as better management than "Here's your quota, good luck";

And I think what SBSers will particularly enjoy is that even an SBSer can setup Exchange (not ITPro but SBSer... your designated office computer guy who also happens to be the paper boy and guy that takes care of purchases) - something that was not true of Exchange on Windows 2003 / Exchange 2003.

For example, I showed the full deployment of Exchange 2007 on the webcast yesterday. From start to finish, 30 minutes. Hows that for SBS friendly?
