When my partners buy virtual servers I rarely ask what they are for. Not only is it none of my business but I am sometimes afraid of the answers. Because virtual SBS servers are so damn affordable (thing just a small multiple of what you’re paying for web hosting) people use them for all sorts of experiments, promotions, demos, proof of concept and generally any other go-to-market campaign.

But earlier tonight Dave Sobel from EvolveTech was pinging me about some Exchange issues so I finally broke down and asked – what is Dave up to?

Turns out, something very, very cool. Talk about a creative way of offering your solutions! I guess thats why Dave was a runner up for a SBSC Marketing Partner of the Year award in 2006.

And why did Dave pick OWN for a virtual SBS box that he’ll get rid of in less than two weeks? Because I’m such a nice guy? Nope, because he got a fully functional and licensed SBS box on the net, completely patched and configured with all the bells and whistles and his time investment – 0 hours.
