You are forgetting the biggest showstopper in the smb market: No GUI. The MS server comes with the same familiar desktop GUI that people already know. So they already know all the basics and just need to learn the server specific config tools. Makes everything a lot easier.

Web gui is also a very strange thing on a server like this. It is something you expect from a router or switch, but not from a server. Shure, remote admin possibility should be there, but VNC is working just fine.

If you are going to install Linux desktops and servers, it would help if they at least are running the same interface.

I’m curious to see if/when Canonical offers a more formal Ubuntu small business server system bundle, plus training and certification around it. The Microsoft Small Business Server world seems pretty huge and continues to grow. Wonder if Mark and Canonical want a piece of that action…

To get Ubuntu server out there, having professional training is a must.

Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop training is the way to go.

Go, go, go.

Good to see professional training happening.

I also agree that Mark has to push for the SMB market. There’s a huge base of people there.
