How Many Server 2008 User Are On Thaivisa?

[Guest Reimar]

After I had setup and Run Windows Server 2008 Enterprise I found out something interesting and want to know others seen the same: Service Pack 1 already on Server 2008, even before it was launched for Vista.

Have you seen the same?

Cheers.

Yes I believe that was the plan... It is to keep the codebases of Vista and Server 2008 synchronized.

Yes the RTM version of Server 2008 is indeed service pack 1, it is using the same kernel as Vista SP1.

A few weeks ago I decomissioned my server 2003 and replaced it with a new machine running server 2008, what a great OS. The number of advantages over 2003 are great.

The best new features that I'm using now are NAP (network access protection), NPS (the new IAS, radius server) SSTP (vpn over standard https 443 port), SMB 2.0, Online responder for certificate revocation, IIS7. There are also quite a few Active Directory improvements (restartable AD service is a feature every admin would love) And of course the new Server Manager will make administration all the more easier as a central repository of all the MMC snapins. They are basically alll there in one application.

And many features added by vista are also in Longhorn. This is a must upgrade without any doubt.
