Looks improved, but it needs to be better than VMware to beat it, not merely equal.
Anyone else annoyed at how we go from server 2008 to server 8? I can already see the confusion...
"What are you guys running, server 2003?"
"no, 8"
"Oh, server 2008. R1 or R2?"
"No... server 8... not 2008."
MS is calling it Windows Server "8" with the 8 in quotation marks. Leads me to believe it may not be called "8."
I would like your theory to be true, but wasn't it the same case with Windows 7? Everyone was so sure they would use a "real" name for the OS upon release, but they called it 7.
It's Windows Server 2008 R2, not Windows 7 Server.
Honestly it doesn't matter to me. Calling it Windows Server 8 would make it fall in line with Windows Phone 7.
Windows Server Metro!
