My MSDN Subscriber Download RSS feed tells me that ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition has been released.  That's all well and good, but my first thought went towards SBS 2003 Premium Edition - will those folks be able to take advantage, or are they out of luck?

From the Windows Small Business Server 2003 FAQ:

Q. When will the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 be available?
 
A. Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 will be available shortly after the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 ships, and will include all of the service packs for the Windows Small Business Server server components (Exchange, Outlook, SharePoint, Windows XP, and ISA 2004 (for premium edition only)). The Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is scheduled to be released at the end of 2004.
 
Q. Will Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 including ISA Server 2004 be made available free to existing premium edition customers?
 
A. Pricing and packaging for Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 has not yet been determined. The individual service packs for Windows Small Business Server 2003 components (Exchange, Outlook, SharePoint, and Windows XP) will be available for download free of charge; they can also be installed directly on Windows Small Business Server 2003 without waiting for the release of Service Pack 1. More details will follow shortly before Service Pack 1 is released.
 
Q. How can I obtain ISA Server 2004 before Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 ships? 
 
A. Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition customers will be required to purchase a separate ISA Server 2004 license. We recommend that you wait until the details of Service Pack 1 become available later this year, however, when timing, pricing, and delivery for Service Pack 1 will be available.

I'm glad to see that the powers that be went against their original decision that SBS 2003 folks were out of luck... now they just need to be patient and wait until the end of the year for SP1.
