Windows Server 2008 R2 Readied

I hear a lot of complaints about various forms of Microsoft software. But I can't remember any complaints about Windows Server 2008 (if I'm wrong, e-mail your grievances to [email protected]).

Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is now in limited beta, the company announced to some 6,000 developers at PDC last week. The new server is 64-bit only, and will include live migration of VMs, an advantage VMware brags about at every opportunity.
