  'Server Core': Small Footprint, Big Security
Time: 00:25 EST/05:25 GMT | News Source: Ent Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Jeff Jones, a Strategy Director in the Microsoft Security Technology Unit, recently matched hard data to the small footprint theory, and came up with some interesting observations and conclusions.

On his TechNet security blog, Jones detailed his experiences installing a server core and a regular, non-server core installation of Windows 2008 on two different partitions on his machine (using the latest beta 3 release). He came up with some startling numbers. The server core installation was less than 1.8GB total, while the full, default Windows 2008 installation was 10.8GB. Jones noted that a server core install is about 16 percent of a full, default install.
