Is Windows Server 2008 vaporware? It seems like most people are using either Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server. I'm kind of fearful that, if I decide to use Server 2008, Microsoft will release a new server based on Windows 7 that everyone switches too. This is a challenge posting by CNChallenger.

What are you using now? How big is your network? Are there any problems with it? Why pay for the upgrade if you don't need it?

2008 is based on windows 7 it's the same kernel. 2008 is very slick and easy to use.

Is Windows Server 2008 vaporware? This suggests that there is no software. W2008 is real and easily purchased. There is almost 100% chance that MS will release a newer version of this product line in a few years. Anyone running win 2000 may be asking for trouble if connected to the internet. It is just not secure enough for business data and is difficult to harden enough. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hey, CNChallenger. If you have any doubts, you should try out the trial version at the MSDN Windows Server 2008 trial site without investing a single dime. Then please come back and tell us if it is indeed vaporware.

Server 2008 is being supported hardcore. The move is on. 2008 is easy to configure runs smooth and works very well. In fact most of your windows host are all moving towards 2008 SQl and 2008 server. Server Intellect is even offer 2008 VPS. I would lease one for a few months and see that it is not vaporware.

What does vaporware mean? I also still use Windows Server 2003 and I am quite scared to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 at this time. It requires much more system usage than Windows Server 2003.
