Eh. For 10 users you don't need either, Lukas. You get better results from a $500 Linux box and Thunderbird.

(Yes, SBS is dirt cheap exactly to get you hooked on the whole
Microsoft thing - prices as soon as you move past the 30-40 user range
and in the territory of multiple Windows servers will be en-par with
IBM. While this is nice to know, a Small Business does not give a f*ck
about this)
Your IBM software prices drop a lot if you don't have development tools for all ten users, and in most small businesses you won't need those tools except for one or two users. A small development shop, that's a different story, but that's different than a small business.
