At Techˆ™Ed EMEA some information emerged on Windows Server 2008 R2. Specifically some information was handed out on the Server Core installation option in the successor to Windows Server 2008.

Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008 R2 will provide more features. A trend is set to continue to provide a valuable alternative to Full installations, but it will still take years before any workloads beyond Windows Server Roles can be added in a supported way.
