October SSL certs deadline & SBS 2011

Bit of advice please.

According to this story http://tinyurl.com/96q6262 on the 9th october MS will block access to SSL sites that use certificates with less than 1024bit keys.

I run lots of SBS 2008 and 2011 servers that use the built in tools to create self signed SSL certs for RWW and OWA.

Here:- http://tinyurl.com/d9pc9yw I'm able to buy UC certificates still, that are for Exchange 2007 / 2010 servers etc, yet they are still 128 / 256 bit.

So, my quandry, come October 9th, what kind of certificates do I need to have in place?
