Yes, I have applied the TP. There are no nightmares, it works just fine.
It's not an instant process, you need to do some preparation (as you would
have to for ANY major install/reconfiguration of your server!), but it
definitely works. There are several threads here about the TP in the last
week or so, please search and read them for details.
On question of what happens at 75 users? You stop being able to connect, I
believe. Honestly, I don't know since I've never come close to 75 active
users or devices.
My strong recommendation is to make the transitition well before you bump up
against the upper limits. One solution that may be of interest is to look at
moving to Essential Business Server. It's not shipping yet, but getting
close, and will provide a smooth transition to an environment that is a
natural extension of what's been done in SBS, while giving you the ability
to grow your business up to the 250 user/device range. But, of course, it
does require three servers.
