"Even though Microsoft has, in the past, made marketing capital from synchronising its releases, group product manager Ward Ralston says that the desktop and server groups are two separate units that do not need to be released simultaneously. Windows 7 will should make its official appearance this year, but that major shift in the desktop experience isn't going to be matched with a similar sea-change on the server Operating System front. Microsoft has settled for only a minor upgrade to Windows Server 2008."

Microsoft should release Windows Server and standard Windows at the same time, with feature parity, full compatibility, and the same name.
Windows Vista, Windows Server Vista
Windows 7, Windows Server 7
etc.
OS X, Ubuntu work that way. Most Windows admins I've spoken to would prefer it to be this way.
