Journal NetFu's Journal: Microsoft and Windows Server 2008 UNIX Appeal?
Well, this article is interesting.
I actually like Microsoft's products including development products, because they have a strong history of listening to their customers, especially developers like me. But, all their past attempts at UNIX or Linux compatibility have been pathetic.
Everything I've read about Windows Server 2008 sounds really good to a hard-core Linux guy like me, but like Vista, I'll believe it when I see it running on my computers/servers. I have tried a beta release of 2008, but the features in these articles didn't seem to be there. But, then again, we were only able to get it working in VMware, not on any real servers.
Maybe the release version will give us more, but we'll see...
