[Kelxin]

Already got the server version up and running in VMware ... God I hate how they force you to hit ctrl-alt-delete by default

[Descartes]

They should've never leaked that page, else we'd be waiting until tomorrow and pleasantly surprised that it came out earlier than expected :p

EDIT: Also I'd be studying right now :pinch:

1 minute :p

*Installs @ work, DCpromo's & sets domain level to 2012*

*Gets fired* :p

LOL, was snickering about the samething earlier. We still Windows 2003R2 HERE! Was gonna upgrade em to 2008R2 but figured might as well wait for 2012 :)

[bogas04]

I think MS deliberately did that , post something , delete it until sites catch it , then troll all day :angry:

If you want Windows Server 2012 that's fine but the rest of us are waiting for the Windows 8 Release Preview.

Judging from the link it might be the Server.

[Kelxin]

That is the server.

[x-scratch]

You must not be using anything big on your domain. Windows 2008 r2 is soooo worth upgrading to from 2003 even if its only for a couple of months.

2K3 R2 Still will do most activities for Domain handling and file serving just fine for any business under 100 members. Above that I feel 2k8 R2 is a must. If they're doing RDP Hosting though, the price is prohibitive to do small steps.

Using Server 2k3 here, and we have >2,000 users.... Goodness knows how many files, on lovely 100MB Cables. :rofl:

We are a library of about 120 users. I think Its worth upgrading to for the full machine backup built into windows 2008 r2 . We also upgraded because we started using hyper-v which is cheaper for us in the long run.

Downloading right now on TechNet

Ouch McKay... I just upgraded one of my higher performance demanding clients to 2K8 R2 on an i7 3820 with 64 GB DDR3 Quad Channel running their database off 2 Intel 520's in a Mirror RAID all across dual gigabit. I'd go nuts on a system that old lol
