Microsoft Windows Server 2008 officially ships today, but early adopters are already running it in production networks and reporting solid results with new features, including everything from stretched clusters to workload-specific configurations of the server.
"Every one of our organizations is having the conversation about rolling out 2008 or deploying Windows Server 2003," said Rand Morimoto, a consultant at Convergent Corp., which helps companies design and build local, wide-area and enterprise networks. "If they think 2008 is dependable and reliable, we roll it out. And we have installed hundreds of these servers in production environments."

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.

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.

Windows Server 2008 is the best OS to be released till date from Microsoft's stable. And the moment I got hold of the RTM build I could not resist installing it on my workstation. Due to the nature of my work I always prefer running a Server OS on my main workstation...

- Pros: Improved security; Faster performance; more sophisticated administration
- Cons: No virtualisation yet; poor NAP compatibility with previous versions of Windows
- Buying advice: Windows Server 2008 offers several important advances on Server 2003, notably in the granularity of the administrative tools and the improved security but the non-appearance of virtualisation is the dog that didn't bark in the night.
Microsoft's long-awaited Windows Server 2008 delivers advancements in speed, security and management, but its virtualisation and network-access control features come up short.
