SBS 2008 didn't allow in-place upgrades from 2003 for a number of reasons (not the least of which is the migration of 64-bit and the big jump from 2003 to 2008-era hardware necessitating a new box), but SBS 7 being based on Server 08 R2 would lend itself to an upgrade from 2008 [R1], so we'll have to see.
Interesting is that Microsoft hasn't come up with a name for Aurora yet. If Foundation is for tiny businesses, and SBS is for "small" businesses of up to 75 systems, what do you call "Aurora" for supporting only 10 more workstations than the server that supports up to 15?
Likewise, why doesn't Microsoft offer the SBS/WHS UI (that I'm assuming Aurora has) and hybrid platform for a server of any size?
Also, any system requirements on any of these products? Will SBS 2008-era hardware work with SBS 7, or will it need upgrades?
