Microsoft is releasing another operating system (OS). This time, it is focused on the backend or the servers in your datacenter. Will it be like Windows Vista and hit the market running only to flop later on? No. Not this time.

Windows Server is Microsoft’s most solid operating system and with Windows Server 2003, especially the R2 version, it became the most popular server OS in the world, with reason.

What Microsoft has done with Windows Server 2008 (WS08) is bring together a series of different releases that were tied to its server OS—add-ons, service pack features, separate downloads—and integrated them to the core Windows Vista code to produce a rock solid release of its flagship server OS. There are lots of reasons why this should be a release you should look into and consider integrating into your datacenter over the course of the next year.
