New small-business OS
Microsoft revealed details of the next version of its Windows OS for small businesses and formally introduced a new product line aimed at small and mid-size businesses. Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008, formally code-named "Cougar," is one of two software bundles in Microsoft's new Windows Essential Server Solutions line; it also includes Windows Essential Business Server 2008, formerly code-named "Centro" and aimed at mid-sized companies. Both products are based on the same code as Windows Server 2008, the next version of Microsoft's enterprise server OS.

The products in the Essential line bundle a server OS with other software products that Microsoft deems necessary to running a business--such as Microsoft's messaging software, Exchange Server and security products--to provide what Microsoft describes as an all-in-one, easy-to-install software stack for companies that may only have a small IT support staff. SBS 2008 is aimed at companies with up to 50 PCs and includes one-year trial subscriptions to Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server Small Business Edition and Windows Live OneCare for Server.
