Longhorn SBS exclusively 64 bit

According to the Press Release from IT Forum 2005 in Barcelona, Spain, the new longhorn edition of SBS will be exclusively built for 64 bit hardware and only come in a 64 bit edition.

How will this affect you and your SBS installation? Well if you want to upgrade to Longhorn SBS in the 2007 time frame then you'll most definitely probably need a server upgrade as well.

For the IT consultant community out there that should really lead to a rise in consultant revenues and bottom lines for those that deploy SBS or resell the software or servers.

I better start looking at what's out there now and giving my clients some alternatives.
