Small Business Server 2003

[Anon_F]

Just found MS Small Business Server 2003 180 Day Trial version in a draw.
Anyone used it? Is it worth playing with? And comes with FrontPage2003?
Or just very nice coasters??

Yep, just coasters

You can get SBS 2008, Server 2012, etc... trials for free from the net. SBS 2003 is over 10 years old now, so I don't think it would be worth tinkering with if you can run some of the later trials.

Could sell them at next car boot i do!
But thanks for that Ian, did think what you have said, thanks.

The Alternative to Microsoft Small Business Server

Resellers are angry because Microsoft is ending Small Business Server in its tracks, without consultation or warning, and replacing it with, not one, but several products that increase end user costs, reduces reseller margins, and cuts value added revenues. The new strategy pushes customers to the Cloud, something that simply isn’t practical for businesses using standard broadband, and for business owners who like their data secured in their offices.

SBS died in 2012, luckily there is a decently priced linux alternative.
