No Microsoft support....big short-coming.

But I have seen the demos and heard good things about it from the SBS crowd.

Make sure you understand Service Principle Names (SPNs) and how to set them
manually.
In addition granting the right to set SPNs to the service account running
SQL server.
In some landscapes this AD level permission is not allowed to be set.
Finally if all you are going to do is log ship with it use log shipping.
