Windows Server 2008 RTM 在08年的02月27日顺利发布

令人激动人心的时刻到来了，微软发布了Windows Server 2008，不过SQl sERVER2008还是CTP版本，可以从这里下载。
先前我使用Windows Server 2008 的 RC0版本3个月，感觉非常好用，比Vista强很多，资源损耗也比较少，因此很期待Windows Server 2008的发布。

微软已经在官方主页上开始提供Windows Server® 2008的试用版本下载.

该版本可以不激活使用60天并可再续期3次直到240天,评估期结束后您需要卸载或安装一个全许可版本.
内含英、日、德、西四国语言版本下载.
