Hi Sonal,

I think we'll have to wait and see on the Swing Migration side (http://www.sbsmigration.com) because I believe Jeff Middleton is working on a process for SBS 2008. It's true there is nothing publicly available yet for SBS 2008.

If you bought a new server within the last 12-18 months then chances are that it's 64 bit capable. So, if the customer wants SBS 2008 then they might want to keep the same hardware. Swing is great because it means the clients machines don't know anything has changed and the process can largely be accomplished offsite meaning less downtime for the customer.

Cheers,

Vijay
