I tend to follow the internationally recognised definition of an SME being 1-250 users...... quite a broad spectrum to tarnish with your SBS brush.
If only such a concept
really existed.

Irrespective of the size of the entity, also depends what your target vertical is. For a tiny hedge fund office, the cost of a basic (not OTT) multi-server solution is pocket money compared to what they'd loose through inability to close their deals during a market rally. Believe me, if you put SBS in there and it hindered them ..... they would no longer be your client, you wouldn't even have a chance to come in and fix it.
My complaint was mainly about RIM not providing timely SBS versions of their products, specifically "coming soon" still showing on SBS2008 2 years after it's release when they should have had a product ready for RTM. It's that issue they should fix I was pointing out, rather than any questions of suitability of SBS for SMEs. Of course if you have a hedge fund you're not going to sell them SBS
but then again i'd hope they'd not use crappy BlackBerries either to do their deals
