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.

Yes. And 2008 Server is totally awesome. Its basic memory footprint is just over 200 MB (and you could cut that down to about 50 if you really tried). Its networking performance is excellent.
It doesn't play sound, it doesn't have Aero, it doesn't have SuperFetch or protected media path.
You can install all that if you like, and then it'll look more like Vista.
