Twelve New Servers Coming

The product guys at Microsoft have been busy so there are going to be lots (but not 12) of new servers coming out this year:

Windows Server 2008 (in 8 exciting flavours depending on whether you need virtualization or not)
SQL Server 2008 editions: developer, express, compact, workgroup, standard and enterprise
Search Server 2008
Small Business Server 2008
Centro (Small Business Server's big brother)
ISA Server 2008

So that's 6, 13, 11 or 18 servers, and I will have to defer to my wife (and my accountant) to do the the creative accounting to make 12!

swag to the first person who can work out the four project code-names in the drawing and tell me what products they relate to!

I've talked about my habit of "Brutal e-mail triage" before my equation for guessing the usefulness of
