The breakdown for the various editions of Windows Server 2008 was revealed this morning by Microsoft, and the big news there is the almost total lack of change: Retail server software editions for the next Windows Server will fall right in line with the current Windows Server 2003 R2 editions, including the number of client access licenses provided in the basic package.

I am not an MS fan. But I was actually pretty excited about the Minwin concept... at first. I really liked the sentiment. But then I took a look at what MS's idea of "min" actually is:

61MB, and it can... just... barely... run an in-kernel web server. The video the story that post is attached to emphasizes just how limited minwin's capabilities actually are. So what is it doing with all that virtual memory?
As another poster pointed out, NT nominally had a POSIX personality, for all the use it was without comprehensive support from MS. POSIX compatibility is and always was a checkbox for the marketing department.
