and oh i like this comment... " I can't help but think that releasing Windows Server 2008 with SP1 is so that all the people who say they don't adopt a new OS until the first SP won't have an excuse.
"

from what I could see server 2003 was just xp with a power user configuration and sp1 almost sp2 and a lot of network management modules when I betatested it for a few weeks

I suspect server 2008 with the it's sp1 will just be vista sp1 ultimate with all the "user experience" that cripples vista turned off by default

Of course it's kind of neat to beta test a 1000$ OS but you really need to have a minimum of 20 computers in your domain to really give it a work out
