It has nothing to do with MVPdom it has to do with keeping clients on a
supported platform in case you need to call CSS.

My advice to clients is to only upgrade when there is a compelling need or
reason to do so. In simpler terms, "if it's not broken, don't fix it".

We've been conditioned over the years to upgrade when new versions are
released by that is because it is in the financial best interests of the
software providers, not necessarily the users.

I'm perfectly happy to continue to use SBS 2003 for the majority of my
clients. It's solid, proven, stable, and meets their needs.

SBS 2008 does the same things, but not necessarily any better than SBS 2003
under normal circumstances.

If SBS 2003 currently meets your clients needs, what is their motivation for
upgrading?

I know, I was kidding - I guess you didn't notice my :-) at the end of
the post.
