Standard is for the small LANS IMHO like here at home.... there's no way
I'd want to spend $1400 for a network for 5 people... but $600...hmmm..
Standard has a RRAS firewall.
Premium has SQL and ISA just like we know and love.
GB... every single security guru that I know .... once they find out
that I'm a SBS MVP they ask me.... does Microsoft allow you to take that
ISA off that domain controller? And my answer is nope. So... could you
argue that SBS2k3 standard with an external hardware business class
firewall is MORE secure that SBS2k3 premium that has ISA... yes you
could argue that it's more secure.
Know the firm your are spec'ing this out for... what data they are
needing to protect and advise accordingly.
That article shows me that author didn't take the time... and who in
their right mind would want to use Eudora when you are licensed for
Outlook 2k3? And it DOES support POP.
I don't mind it when SBS2k gets beat up...but do it with the facts.

"Don't lose sight of security. Security is a state of being,
not a state of budget. He with the most firewalls still does
not win. Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your patches.
Demand better security from vendors and hold them responsible.
Use what you have, and make sure you know how to use it properly
and effectively."
