Any info about SBS 2010 release?

Anyone know if there is a Small Business Server 2010 version in the works? If yes, any word about the release date?

Thinking about upgrade from SBS 2003.

I'm not aware of 2010 version coming out. 2008 is the most recent version.

This is as far as it goes.

Wouldn't this be 2008 Small Business Server R2? 😉

I have no inside knowledge. But my guess has long been that SBS server would continue to move in the direction that Windows Home Server took. Simplified installation, simplified management console, backups of desktop PCs, etc. The next version may end up significantly different-looking than SBS 2008. I doubt we'll see it in 2010.

This blogger suggests first half of 2011:

Why no 2008 R2 version?
Exchange 2010 is compatible with R2.
Exchange 2007 is not. (well not supported)

Thanks. It looks like next version probably still a year away.

The reason I'm asking is because I don't want to upgrade to 2008 R2 and then 3-6 months later next version (if there is one) comes out, yet the current SBS 2003 system with Exchange is eating a lot of memory, approaching and exceeding 4GB limit a lot of time.
