Hi,

I have to make a decision between Windows Server 2008 or Windows Small Business Server 2011 with Exchange, and I would like to know your experience.
Thank you,

That's a stupid question, there are too many variables.

# of Users?
Hardware specs?
RAM?
Network specs?
How many non-Accpac programs running?
32 or 64 bit?

- less than 5 users (ACCPAC)
- Dell PowerEdge T410 with Intel Xeon E5620 12M Cache, 32 GB, RAID 1, 2 x 450GB 15K RPM
- less than 10 users on the network (including ACCPAC users)

Generally it is a bad idea to run Exchange with anything else on the same server, Exchange and SQL Server will compete for resources.
I have seen servers running Exchange, SQL Server, Accpac and CRM and users complain about poor performance.

That's more than enough hardware, so the OS doesn't matter.
