I need to upgrade my Exchange 2003 Standard edition. I am approaching the
75MB limit. I have researched several times thru technical references and
google searches for The mamimum database size for Exchange 2007 Standard and
Enterprise. I believe even Exchange 2007 Standard that the maximum database
size is 8 TB's. The Enterprise Edition seems to be the same thing. However, I
have found technical references that are either missed typed or something.
What is the maximum database size for Exchange 2007 Standard ?

Way more than 75GB.
Go with 2007 standard. You get five "unlimited" stores. If you've been
managing with 75GB until now you don't have any worries. The limit of
the hardware and then the implemented limitation of NTFS.
