Server 2008 R2

Having spent a lot of my time recently on Windows 7 I’ve returned to the server world and given Server 2008 R2 a go under Hyper-V and for someone’s spent a lot of time on Windows 7 the install was simple and with the version of Hyper-V installed on the server (Windows Server 2008) mouse support was available without running the installer for the extensions. Very good and welcome, it’s a small point but important to me.

Install time including setting it up as a DC was under an hour, a testament to the setup routine and the simplicity of my setup, but it’s just going to get easier and quicker as we move forward toward release time.

A very satisfactory experience that just goes to show MS are building on a solid framework of security and 64 bit support.
