Microsoft Drops Windows Small Business Server

Microsoft last week took the wraps off the various editions of Windows Server 2012 that will be generally available in September this year. The software giant says the new lineup delivers a dramatically simplified licensing experience, paring the selection down to just four editions of Windows Server 2012 based on organizational size and virtualization needs.

The entry-level edition will be the OEM-only Foundation edition for use as a general purpose server with no virtualization rights. While the Foundation edition is limited to just 15 user accounts, the Essentials edition for small business environments increases that to a 25-user account limit and can be purchased as a separate component from the server hardware. The Essentials edition also has no virtualization rights and is priced at $425.

Higher up the chain is the Standard edition, which provides full Windows Server functionality with two virtual instances, while the Datacenter extends this to unlimited virtual instances.
