You sir are an idiot. all the MS "home" OSes can't share more than 5 users at the same time. Exchange doesn't f-up AD at all. I hope you are not in the IT industry as you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
ok, so you've just turned on virtualization on your SBS server. you just broke it. Microsoft supports SBS installed as a GUEST but not as a HOST for virtualization.
this is all over the microsoft knowledge base and the SBS Blog (blogs.technet.com/b/sbs)
you'd best read up on SBS Best Practices before you make your server any worse. www.sbsbuilddoc.com
I think you viewed my comment with too wide a brush. let me try to explain.
i used to be a newspaper carrier back in jr/sr high school (5.5 years). my customers asked me for newspaper subscriptions like "i want sunday only" and "i want wed and sun only". this was fairly common. when i'd call the newspaper and tell them the amount of papers to deliver each day, they didn't care how many per day, and complied with no issue. the end result: customer happy, me (carrier) happy. i made good money for the short amount of time i worked each day to do that job.
so with that knowledge and that now we are 25+ years in the future, i don't see why i can't have the subscription option i want. as a customer, if you want my business, you need to 1) listen and 2) deliver what the customer wants, or they move on and you don't have them as a customer. you get enough of that and you go out of business. the whole point to this, is that the newspaper wants me to subscribe based on THEIR schedule and for me to pay for 3 newspapers a week, when i WANT only 1.
Here Mr Newspaper, take my money. No, we want 3x the money and you get 2 more items you don't want. no thanks.
no wonder newspapers are dying.

my local paper i only want on sunday. in attempting to subscribe for sunday only, they say "no, you have to take it friday/saturday/sunday". i say "sunday only, or i don't subscribe". they wouldn't budge. guess what i decided:)
on the occasion i want a sunday paper, i go to the local gas station which is not far from my place and pick up a paper. i won't be shedding any tears when they fold (ha!)
i was one of the Team OS/2 members, and founder of the cincinnati team os/2 user group. I was also an OS/2 Ambassador (the equivalent of a Microsoft MVP), one of a small group. i don't remember how may of us there were (Ambassadors) but it was a small number.
I recall fondly attending Comdex and running around installing OS/2 at vendor booths and putting up signs. I found an old photo i took recently of the "Microsoft BOB" launch in vegas. one attendee in the audience. still laughing at that one.......
take a look at the HP Microserver. it's a dualcore AMD CPU, supports 8GB RAM, no OS (install what you want), gig ethernet, and you can put up to 4 hard drives in the case, and 2 expansion cards. small, and quiet, and uses very little power (no fan on the CPU, but a large 120MM fan for the case).
Have to agree - my first Roundabout experience was in Ireland about 6 years ago. drove around the whole country and probably ended up driving around a bunch of them and found them to be much better than the intersections here. we now have 2 roundabouts between the interstate and my subdivision and i never have to come to a stop until i get to the interstate, and vice-versa when coming home. i used to have to stop more than once in each direction. we've had a small number of accidents and it's usually people that don't yield when they are supposed to, or just STOP in the roundabout to let someone in and get rear-ended at a reduced speed. i believe the person that caused the accident gets the ticket in that case, but IANAL.
my neighbors agree - we love ours and would like to see more at low-traffic intersections vs traffic lights or 4 way stops.
..and it's made by an company out of australia. the Tega v2 tablet/slate is a really nice device running win7. as much as the articles in Information Week would like you to believe there are no win7 slate/tablet devices out there, all you have to do is Google/Bing/Bingle to find them. i've been selling these Tega tablets for just over a month. I have office 2010 on it and it runs great. 2GB ram 32GB SSD drive. not the largest one, or the smallest one.
don't believe the hype that these devices don't exist. they do!
HP has released a table/slate that runs win7, but i haven't seen it yet myself. it's not the one that was hyped in the past that was to run win7 then got switched to the WebOS/Palm.

It was not my intention to turn my point into a MS vs Linux debate. I think we all know how productive that can be:)
It doesn't matter what platform you use - there will be vulnerabilites (a/v, backup, etc) that must be addressed. A lot of businesses of any size seem to think they won't be affected so they don't want to invest in a proper solution. they get bit, then b*tch about the cost of making it right. Had they properly invested in the protection in the first place, they never would have been bitten.
Kevin
that I do IT support for MANY small businesses. a lot of them don't want to pay for properly keeping their malware/virus software up-to-date and healthy. the result is infection, and the cost to clean it up. So, my point is a lot of these costs are brought on by the businesses themselves and these costs should not be in any calculation against or for any platform. you can put the cost into the "stupidity" column if you wish:)
this would be a good snap-up for AMD don't you think?
The only bad thing about the transmeta I ran into a few years ago is that it wouldn't support VirtualPC (forgot the name prior to MS buyout - tried them both). This was on the compaq slate tablet pc.
Your statement about people complaining about the trash(deleted email) being emptied brought back a fond memory of mine. I was early in my IT Admin career (was a programmer for over 10 prior to that), I was working for a major insurance company administrating their CC:Mail network. We had issues of people never emptying their "trash" folder and it was taking a long time to do anything for everyone on the system. We sent out a memo to the entire company telling them that in a week we would start emptying the trash folder nightly around midnight before the backups and other maintenance begins. very few people bothered to pay attention to this memo.
Here is where it get...funny. A high-muckety-muck (eg: pointy haired VP) called the help desk screaming for his trash folder to be restored as it was emptied without his permission and had important files in there. He wanted to see the guilty parties in his office post-haste. I was part of the team, so I had to go to his office. while waiting outside his door for him to let our team in, I grabbed a trashcan and some vertical file folders and paper from his secretary. (can you see where I'm going yet?) We were let in, and he proceeded to rip us up one side and down the other. Our manager brought a copy of the memo, which he promptly threw away while continuing to yell.
I asked to speak (everyone else was quietly taking the heat) and proceeded to put the trash can on the desk, put the vertical file folders in the trashcan and put paper in each folder. While I was explaining this analogy to him, I asked if every day his office trashcan was empty when he came into the office. He said yes. I basically gave him the analogy that the trash folder in cc:mail was the same as his office trashcan - whatever went in during the day was retrievable, but at midnight, the office cleaning crew would come in and empty his trashcan and we also would be emptying his electronic trash folder the same way. He blinked, and understood what we were doing, pulled the memo out of the trash and reread it. we were dismissed with no apology back to our offices.
Note that I was a contractor - I couldn't be fired...just sent away back to my firm to go on to the next assignment. I ended up being there for 2.5 years. I still laugh at that situation even today.
I have to agree - Windows Home Server rocks, even with the known (rare) corruption issue out there that is fully documented in the KB someone already mentioned. With the new Power Pack 1 and several new free add-ins, its becoming a really great product, for very little money. Oh, and there is NO DRM:)
Didn't care for Buffy or Angel, but Firefly did catch my attention. I watched the episodes when they aired (thanks TiVo!), but really enjoyed it more when the DVD set came out (borrowed from a friend), and I was able to watch them, IN THE PROPER ORDER, so the story made more sense.
Imaging watching the new Battlestar Glactica episodes out of order - wouldn't be as good would it?
I did get to see one of the advanced screenings of Serenity, and, even without the final music, IT ROCKED. Best movie I've seen in a long time.
