Interesting article. Didn't agree with all of it, but still kudos to Amazing Charts. Maybe I am missing something, but if you look through the article and information, you will find a chart of about 20 categories it talks about. But, it duplicates nearly everything and even contradicts itself. Number of GBs, iPhone status and even the non-existent SBS 2005. Has to make you wonder.

--Hardware (Clients)Any off-the-shelf PC running Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7. Amazing Charts recommends 2 Gb of ram and 100 Gigs of hard drive space.
--Hardware (Clients)Any off-the-shelf PC running Windows 2000, XP, Vista, even Windows 7. Amazing Charts recommends 1 Gb of ram and 40 Gigs of Hard drive space.

--Operating System (Servers)Microsoft SBS 2003, 2005, 2008 or compatible.

And did you see this lovely little bit at the end of the article???

"The full report is available at a cost of $500 for healthcare providers and $2,500 for vendors and consultants. To purchase the full report, visit http://www.klasresearch.com/BestinKLAS."

Seriously WTF??? Can someone say NO THANKS

I actually nearly included that. Crazy! But, I did download the sample report, and it is quite impressive.

Those specs they mentioned make no sense.
Who would recommend only 1GB RAM and 40 GB hard disk?
SBS 2005 doesn't exist. do you think this is based on what AC provided KLAS? Or are these specs invented by KLAS?

They are provided by AC, but if you notice, the first line says 2GB of RAM with 100GBs of hdd space. The second line says 1GB and 40GBs. It's like that all the way down the list. Very odd.

I just don't see how we skipped SBS 2005. Maybe that is why when I gave you all that advice on 2008, it didn't seem to make sense.

And, why are we posting like we are only talking to each other?

Maybe when we upgraded SBS 2003 we were supposed to add the 2005 to get to 2008. 3+5=8
that's why it's didn't add up. We didn't have 5.
I'm getting punchy, good night

That makes sense. Because then you add the 2003 to the 2008 to get the 2011.

Exactly! We just hacked the methodology behind microsoft's success.
So will the next edition be 2005+2011=2017?
SBS two-thousand-seventeen doesn't roll off the tongue too easily though.
I bet they start dropping the 20.
SBS-17, SBS-19, SBS-23

sounds a bit like space shuttle mission numbers, STS-[x,y,z]
