Why would they release this yet they won't allow their Small Business Partners download it! Tell me how am I meant to test the RTM before deploying it to one of my customer sites??

It's great to see that Essential Business Server which was for 500 users has been resurrected. Well wait no, the new Small Business Server Essentials is for 25 users and has absolutely nothing to do with EBS other than the shared name... Of all the words in the English language, MS's marketing team couldn't have found a unique name for this product? Seriously? This is the whole "Windows Server for Small Business" vs "Windows Small Business Server" debacle all over again, with us Partners having to straighten out the confusion with our customers, again...

You know it’s really cool how small businesses are continually receiving more and more emphasis and recognition while the former giants seem to be slowly eroding in their grips of commercial power. I find this to be a definite “light,” if you will, for economic growth and stability, and incidentally, a post I came across today seems to confirm the observation. Anyway, if you’re interested, it’s somewhere hereabouts (www.pressdisplay.com/.../showlink.aspx) Of course, difficulties for small businesses are a bit of an inevitability, but overall, I believe it’s a brighter picture.

Looks like SBS 2011 was released on TechNet yesterday (12/16/20) at noon PST. Funny thing though, all of a sudden they seem to be restricting access on TechNet to only ActionPack TechNet subscribers. This is not the case for SBS 2003 or SBS 2008, they are wide open to all level of TechNet. I wonder if this is a forward looking policy or subscription level change?

Direct Access is not going to be supported on the SBS itself AFAIK - as it requires a dedicated server. There is a whitepaper coming i beleive which is based on the Premium Addon being used to provide DA.

Disclaimer - I might be wrong :p

according to TechEd "Direct Access" is possible (but without Wizards)

This is now available on both MSDN and TechNet if you have a subscription.
