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.

From what we know right now (little), Windows 7 seems to be a minor update even for the desktop.
Vista + bug fixes + Multi-Touch = Win7
OR
Vista + Service Pack 4 + Plus! Pack = Win7....
Servers don't need Multi-Touch. So yeah, Win 2008 R2 is a good name.
