We still support ISA on SBS 2000 & 2003.
What we don't support is the "roll your own" SBS-style deployments that cause
so much pain & heartache for customers and CSS engineers alike.
I agree with removing ISA from SBS; regardless of the protection it offered, it
actually creates a very insecure ISA deployment regarding traffic from the
inside. We wont' even discuss what it is coerced into regarding external
traffic. When you add to this the "wizard me to death" and "openaport"
mentality that seems to pervade the SBS community (with notable exceptions),
the resulting support costs made the microscopic ISA revenue invisible.

I'm not sure it's a win, I think it's now more an issue that Small
Business (not SBS) can't afford to have the high level of protection
that ISA can give them. I know the purists will say that I'm wrong, but
I really like the protection that ISA gives me and the ease with which
we can manage it. I don't see this in the low end firewall appliances
yet.
Having said that - most of my sites are SBS 2003 Premium sites, and I've
only got one site with ISA 2004 on their DC thats not SBS and shortly
they will be moving to a separate firewall.
The decision not to include ISA in Cougar is a big disappointment.
Anyway - I'm back to lurking now before you all jump on me :-)
Happy holiday.
