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.

MinWin *is* marketing. Microsoft's marketing and HR teams realized that the perception among college-age developers that Windows is huge, bloated, and unwieldy was driving prospective developers away from the platform.
That's pretty much it. Honestly. How many articles and stories have we had over the last eight years or so, especially in the run up to Windows 2000 and beyond, that helpfully told us how Windows was being redesigned, being made more modular, more object oriented and less of an 'all-in-one' pig?
All crap.
