I’m often asked "why should I consider Windows Server 2008". The first thing I mention is the new TCP stack. The next thing I consider is IIS7. But there’s just SO much it’s hard to stop there. Terminal Services, OS installation, Server Manager, NAP, simplified clustering, Hyper-V, Active Directory (of course!) and branch offfice infrastructure in general.
Microsoft has posted a summary of the improvements in Windows Server 2008. It’s a big release and it’s going to offer real soluitons to business problems unlike never before. It’s well worth getting involved with now.
