    Upgrade from SBS2000 to SBS2008

    Hi, I have a client who is currently running SBS2000 on a single server and has finally realised that he needs to upgrade both his hardware & software. Now I understand that there isn't a direct upgrade path from SBS 2000 to SBS 2008 so logic says it would be better to install a completely new...
