Windows 8 970 Published by

Microsoft Windows Server 8, now out in beta, has important changes for enterprises working with virtualization, automation, and private clouds.



From InformationWeek:
Lost in much of the hype around the release last week of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview was the fact that Microsoft also shipped a beta version of Windows Server 8.

In many ways, the latter might be more significant for IT organizations, as most businesses will not likely move their PCs to Windows 8 for at least a year or two. Indeed, the majority of businesses haven't yet moved to Windows 7. But the migration from Windows Server 2008 might be a lot quicker given that Windows Server 8 can jumpstart key initiatives around private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
