Review: Windows Server 2008 delivers security and savings - Roger Howorth, 02-29-2008
IT Week
Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed Longhorn, is the server counterpart to Microsoft’s client-side Windows Vista platform. Based on tests in IT Week Labs, we believe firms will find that this is the most significant Windows Server release to date, with a range of new features that will appeal to small and large IT operations alike.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Jon Honeyball, 02-27-2008
PC Pro
Microsoft has released its latest and greatest version of its Windows Server operating system. The previous generation, Server 2000 and 2003, has done sterling work for many companies, both large and small, and it's clear that the new release has to be very good indeed to get companies to move forward. Verdict: Don't wait for SP1 - whatever size your business is, now is the time to bite the bullet and upgrade to Server 2008.
Server 2008: The Windows Workstation we always wanted - Mary Jo Foley and Jason Perlow, 02-26-2008
ZDNet
As discontent over Windows Vista (with or without Service Pack 1) continues to swirl, Microsoft is gearing up to launch on February 27 the “other” Windows: Windows Server 2008. Even though it is built from the same core as Vista, Windows Server is different from Vista in a number of ways, from its role-based configuration options, to its built-in hypervisor. Guest blogger Jason Perlow (of asbestos-underwear fame) has been an advocate for Microsoft making Windows Server 2008 available as in workstation/desktop form. Like the old Windows NT and Windows 2000 Workstation products, a Windows Server 2008 Workstation would be a form factor for power users who don’t need all the Vista desktop eye candy, but care more about manageability and performance.
What Does the Upgrade Landscape Look Like for Windows Server 2008 - Frank Ohlhorst, 02-26-2008
eWeek
Finally, Windows Server 2008 has arrived, but before you order up those DVDs to insert into your customers' servers there are a few things you need to know. Firstly, if your customers are running NT or Windows Server 2000, you can forget about an in-place upgrade. Server 2008 only offers an in-place upgrade option for Windows Server 2003, and even then it can be a touchy process.
Secrets of Windows Server 2008 - Sean McCown, 02-25-2008

Windows Server 2008, popularly known by its code name Longhorn, is a significant release for Microsoft and represents the result of a very long development cycle. We've all heard about many features that made it into the final release. But what you may have missed is the actual impact that Longhorn's final version will have on your organization...Despite what got cut, Microsoft has delivered improved uptime, stability, and speed in Longhorn. Not all features work out of the box, and not everyone will take advantage of all the changes. But with the Longhorn release, Windows Server is no longer the bottleneck to scaling your applications.
Product review: Windows Server 2008 is upgrade IT can't refuse - Tom Sullivan, 02-25-2008

As Windows Server 2008, formerly code-named Longhorn, makes its final way out of Microsoft's corral this week, our Test Center inspected the beast and was surprised. "You who have followed Tom [Yager's] somewhat tepid Longhorn coverage may be shocked to discover that his in-depth review of Windows Server 2008 holds the new OS in high esteem," editor-in-chief Eric Knorr points out, in A long, long look at Windows Server 2008.
First Look: Windows Server 2008 - Tom Henderson and Rand Dvorak, 02-25-2008
Network World
Microsoft's long-awaited Windows Server 2008 delivers advancements in speed, security, and management, but its virtualization and network-access control features come up short. In Network World testing of Windows Server 2008 gold code -- the product officially launches on Wednesday -- we found that Microsoft has made a number of improvements to its flagship server operating system.
WS2008 Makes XP Second Class Citizen - Mitchell Ashley, 02-25-2008
Network World
Testing of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 by Network World Lab Alliance has revealed some interesting results. To borrow a quote from Borat; If you are Windows Vista, "You, I like!". XP, older and non-Windows operating systems? "You, not so maaach." WS2008 is showing some good performance improvements, but some of the biggest improvements, such as file copies and server-to-client network traffic, favor only Vista clients.
Product review: Windows Server 2008 is the host with the most, and the perfect guest - Tom Yager, 02-25-2008
InfoWorld
A standing complaint about Windows Server is its resource footprint. Those in IT just take as rote that it requires lots of memory, lots of CPU, and lots of disk to put any substantial services on the air with Windows Server 2003. I think it's safe to say that the typical x86 rack server's characteristics reflect the requirements of Windows Server. Microsoft's big OS has always been designed under the presumption that it will have a full physical server to itself... As is always the case with enterprise operating systems, I have to close with the caveat that I've only managed to write up about half of Windows Server 2008's new features, but I've invested a great deal of time in working the preview editions, as well as early access to the Release to Manufacturing cut of the server. There is plenty to see, and Microsoft's relaxed policies with regard to downloadable trials will empower you to write your own review. Your direct experience with Windows Server 2008, System Center, and other components in the Windows Server System is what counts. My experience has left me extremely impressed. Windows Server 2008 on large-scale, virtualized enterprise servers will make alternatives a very hard sell.
Windows Server 2008 Review - Paul Thurrott, 02-24-2008
Windows IT Pro
Windows Server 2008 is the most substantial upgrade to the Windows Server product line since Windows 2000, with a sweeping set of capabilities and a reengineered core that will usher in a new era of 64-bit server computing. Like its Windows Vista stable mate, Windows Server 2008 was in development an achingly long time, and some of its many features were originally slated for its predecessors, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2. Unlike Vista, however, this lengthy schedule hasn't proven problematic. In fact, it's arguably worked to the product's advantage: This is a refined, mature, and stable operating system that will no doubt power server systems of all kinds for years to come. ...This effort is worthwhile: Windows Server 2008 is a solid and impressive upgrade that should meet the needs of virtually any business customer. I see no serious downsides to this product at all. Highly recommended.
