Microsoft Windows Server 2008

Microsoft Windows Server 2008

New Features:
Windows Server 2008 was built from the same code base as Windows Vista.
Since the same code base as used, Windows Server 2008 shares much of the same architecture and functionality as Windows Vista. It benefits from most of the technical, security, management and administrative features new to Windows Vista.

Some of the benefits of Windows Server 2008:
Improved networking stack (native IPv6, native wireless, speed and security improvements)
Improved image-based installation deployment and recovery
Improved diagnostics, monitoring, event logging and reporting tools
New security features such as Bitlocker and ASLR
Improved Windows Firewall with secure default configuration
.NET Framework 3.0 technologies, specifically Windows Communication Foundation, Microsoft Message Queuing and Windows Workflow Foundation
Core kernel, memory and file system improvements.
Processors and memory devices are modelled as Plug and Play devices, to allow hot-plugging of these devices.
(This allows the system resources to be partitioned dynamically using Dynamic Hardware Partitioning; each partition having its own memory, processor and I/O host bridge devices independent of other partitions.)
