Microsoft has given developers the final pieces of code for Windows Server 2008 R2, having already released the product to manufacturing at the end of July along with Windows 7.
The company posted the final code to MSDN and TechNet subscribers at around 6pm BST yesterday, and general availability is slated for 22 October.
Despite the name, Windows Server 2008 R2 could be as significant a server release as Windows 7 is set to be for the desktop, according to a recent five star review by V3.co.uk which pointed to major improvements in scalability and performance, and numerous new features.
