For the record, just let me state that I _really_ like Windows Sever 2008. It's shaping up to be the best server OS that I've seen. I'm glad that MS is taking the time to 'fully bake it' before unleashing it on the world. (Unlike the other, crappy, OS that they recently released that wasn't fully baked - but which shall remain nameless. *wink*)

I also love that it installs in about 10 minutes on newer hardware, and 100% just works with ALL of my hardware (in x64) right out of the gate - including my RAID Controllers.

I also love how well the new TCP/IP stack just screams (when talking with other machines on the same stack). In this case, a screenshot is worth the rest of my words (note the speed/throughput):
