SBS EMEA Chat after-thoughts

The Technet SBS Chat finished about 30 minutes ago

As i thought may happen it was mainly centered around people who wanted to know about Cougar and not about SBS2003 support as it was originally billed!

The chat transcript will be available here soon

Most of the Cougar stuff is available elsewhere on the internet

I asked if there were any plans to allow an upgrade to companyweb instead of the side-by-side install we have to do now, “no current plans”

I also asked if Response Point is going to appear in the UK, “At the moment this is a US only product. Since it is produced by a number of hardware vendors I think it will be a long time, or not at all. Don’t worry, you will have plenty of options for VoIP from Microsoft over the coming period”

The only thing i found a little strange was that lots of people care enough about SBS and their business to put 45-minutes aside to login to a chat session, but ask questions on things that are readily available elsewhere such as the Cougar information. (I was going to post some examples…but thats not fair)

But i guess this is to be expected when we’re all waiting for some more information on new products

I’m really glad it’s Friday as i appear to be in a grouchy mood 🙂
