With so much ROI potential and virtualization built in, Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 -- just released to manufacturing and set to launch later this month -- promises to change the way the channel delivers solutions.
After several weeks of testing in the CMP Channel Test Center lab, it is clear that Microsoft's forthcoming server operating system provides levels of data center functionality never before seen in a single package. Even without considering the implications of Hyper-V—the virtualization application that will officially ship several months after Server 2008—it seems that Microsoft, once again, appears poised to steamroll over more and new (watch out, VMware) competitors.
