We have been covering the world of Windows Server with increasing regularity here on TNWmicrosoft, because so many of you care so deeply about it. The interest continues to surprise us.
That aside, good news devoted Windows Server fans, you are about to be able to actually buy one of the products that you have no doubt been testing for some months. According to reports, Small Business Server 2011 is currently reaching its marketing channels, a lengthy time after its RTM, which took place in December of 2010.
Small Business Server 2011 will cost over $1,000, even before client-access licenses are added on to that number.
Other products in the world of Windows Server are snaking their way to the market, most notably Windows Home Server 2011, which according to our coverage yesterday is merely inches from completion.
