    Why does windows SBS cost less on the Dell web site when customizing?
    I thought that SBS had more bells and whistles ?

    SBS is designed for small businesses. It has limits on the number of
    CPUs, users, etc. WS2003 will scale up to enterprise size. That's it in
    a nutshell.

    Also, you can't have more than one SBS DC on a domain. If you want
    another DC on your domain, it will have to be Windows Server 2000/2003.

    SBs only allows one DC per domain. Also, the AD is limited ot 75
    users, 2 processors (4 in 2003 standard), no domain trusts, no TS in
    application mode and a load of other techy server things. if you're
    running a small business that you're not expecting to grow and your
    server based apps are happy to run on a DC then SBS is a good deal.
    Otherwise, go for the sepreate components. It will save you some
    headaches down the road.
