Ahem, call them what they are, features.

They are mostly geared towards Enterprise Level Web Servers...

You'll be able to maintain a huge network of Web Servers much easier.

Oh, yea.. Plus the added features mentioned.

One benefit to note... running .NET servers will make it much easier when doing name changing and stuff. As of now, it's a royal pain to change server names in a domain. .NET makes that easier.

Here's a bunch of BullShlt about it from MS http://www.microsoft.com/servers/evaluation/overview/net.asp

I change server names on my 2k servers in active directory all the time. Pretty simple except for the reboot. Is that what you were referring to?

.NET will add IIS 6, which is about the only beneficial thing I saw during my beta. Putting that ridiculous XP interface on a server is just plain wrong. Yeah, you can disable it, but the GUI should be the last thing on the priority list. I dont need my servers to look nice, I need them to get the job done.
