Star Microsoft: Windows 7 Server To Be 'Minor Release'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 18th Aug 2008 21:48 UTC, submitted by rlem6983
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.

Both Server 2003 & 2008 are indeed good products. So why the hell does Microsoft insist in totally messing them up when they move the kernel from the server room into the living room?
If the Server O/S copies files perfectly why can't VISTA.


Does a server OS have to worry about sound or video skipping during a file copy?

Depends, if the server is running a video or sound streaming service, then yes. Otherwise, unlikely.

But it doesn't matter wether a multimedia service, a database service, a webservice or what else a service stocks. In call cases service quality is effected.
