Microsoft mulls midmarket

eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft officials are considering developing a new server product targeted at midsize businesses, a rapidly growing segment of IT that often must rely on products and technologies designed for much larger organizations.

The new version of Windows under consideration would be a bundle similar to Windows Small Business Server 2003, which includes Windows Server 2003, Windows SharePoint Services, Exchange Server 2003 and several other technologies. However, Microsoft, of Redmond, Wash., is leaving much of the decision about what to include in the bundle up to its customers.
