Business Computing World published a review of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard

This new Standard edition of Windows Small Business Server is a solid and well implemented product that satisfies many, if not all, of the shared computing requirements of small organisations. That said, it’s no longer the only Small Business product in the Windows family with a new Essentials edition about to be released which muddies the waters somewhat. Based on Windows Home Server and aimed at companies with no more than 25 users, SBS 2011 Essentials will sell alongside the Standard edition, and for a lot less, typically costing around £350 (ex. VAT) with no need for CALs. A move that may seem a little illogical, but then you don’t get e-mail or collaboration features in Essentials, just file and print sharing plus backup, with customers expected to use cloud-based services to handle what’s left out.
