#7: The ashtrays are now optional
In prior versions of Windows Server, a lot of applications came installed by default. No one ever uninstalled them because they did not cause any harm, even if you didn't use them or installed an alternative. Now, even the "throwaway" applications, like Windows Backup, are not installed by default. After installation, you need to add "features" to get the full Windows Server suite of applications. This can be frustrating if you are in a hurry, but the reduced clutter and resource overhead are worth it
Part of the frustration with earlier versions of server were that there were way too many things installed by default... but now the complaint is that Server 2008 is missing too many features during the installation? I like the stripped down version much better.
