Small Business Server Legal Problems in South Korea

For computer consulting businesses that focus on Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS), it’s well known that the software will ALWAYS be “evolving”.

After all, in the age of constantly discovered OS and application vulnerabilities, regularly released hot fixed and patches, after a while most computer consultants just sort of “accept” the fact that Microsoft Small Business Server, like most commercially available network operating systems (NOS’s) and application suites will never be “done” or never be 100% secure.

Well apparently one lawyer in South Korea is fed up with this lackadaisical attitude and complacency surrounding flaws in Microsoft Small Business Server… so fed up that he decided to file a law suit against Microsoft’s Korean unit after he lost some data when downloading files from his Microsoft Small Business Server network to his PDA.

This lawsuit follows on the heals of Microsoft Korea being ordered earlier this month to pay a $32M U.S. fine by South Korean antitrust regulators.
