We have been trialing 2008 server for some months now, and I have to say I'm very impressed. The ease of installation is terrific, the new way 2008 server has roles and features for the majority of the tasks you would want a server to perform is also excellent. For example to configure a 2008 server as a WINS server, you simply tick the WINS server feature in 2008 server manager, could not be simpler.
In some ways it's a bit to simple, all drivers for our Proliant server were just picked up, nothing to add, added it into our domain, all just really straight forward. Don't even get me started on Terminal Services in 2008, thats just fantastic. Remote App lets you publish applications in a very similar fashion to Citrix. I published the whole of the Office 2007 suite, so am now able to access full blown Outlook from home, or out on the road in lightning quick speed. The only restriction to accessing this is the client PC needs to be running Vista SP1 or XP SP3.
