Microsoft, in an attempt to make their software packages more appealing to small businesses, plan to release cheaper bundles of their server operating system and e-mail management software.
In October, Microsoft plans to start selling its Windows Server 2003 and its Exchange Server 2003 together for $599, the software maker said Wednesday. That price includes a license for up to five PCs, with discounted pricing on additional licenses available to companies that have up to 75 computers. The two-part bundle will be part of an update to Microsoft's Windows Small Business Server line.

The existing product in that line is a larger collection of server software for $1,499. That bundle is slated to be updated in October, when it will go on sale as the "premium" edition. It will include Microsoft's SQL Server database and another program that allows companies to set up a complex firewall to protect corporate data, according to the company.
