Certainly fills the void for small businesses at a price that small businesses will like.  I think that's the first time I've looked at an Apple product and not thought that the price was out to lunch, either.

The one thing I didn't glean from that article was whether Snow Leopard Server interoperates with Windows clients.

- File services (SMB yes)
- Mail services (imap yes)
- Calendar (caldav yes)
- Open Directory account managment.... needs more research from the sound of it maybe.
