Windows We've covered Windows 7 quite often already - on the desktop side of the fence, that is. Continuing tradition, there will also be a Windows 7 Server release, but until now, Microsoft has remained fairly tight-lipped about the server counterpart of Windows 7. Until now, because Microsoft has stated that Windows 7 Server will be a "minor release" - and named accordingly: Windows Server 2008 R2.

Microsoft has stated that Windows 7 Server will be a "minor release"


... it follows the principle "if it ain't broken, don't fix it". And it is a sound principle too. Windows 2008 was well received, and the server world does not like "vista type" surprises...
