We are very excited for the Windows Server “8” beta release this week and the wave of customer, partner, and IT Pro engagement that is kicking off as a result! Windows Server “8” is quite possibly the most significant release of Windows Server ever.  As Jonathan Hassell remarked in his article in Computerworld, “Windows Server "8" takes your breath away."
