The release of this new Small Business Server is very significant, considering that it offer several advantages and improvements over Small Business Server 2003. Small Business Server 2003 has been an extremely successful product and has stong following among IT people and small businesses alike.

Like Small Business Server 2003, Windows Small Business Server 2008 will be offered in two version, Standard and Premium. Unlike Small Business Server 2003, the premium product will be implemented on a second, standalone server.

Within the last several days, Google has released a beta version of their new browser, Chrome, which can be downloaded and installed by anyone running Microsoft Windows. Versions for Macintosh and Linux are still in the works but will be available soon.

I’m using Chrome now to edit this post and will continue to switch between Chrome and Firefox as my most-used browsers. I would encourage everyone to download and try Chrome for yourself. It appears that there are several features and security enhancements beyond what Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari have to offer. Please respond with your thoughts regarding Chrome or your favorite browser.
