Want you some next-gen server technology, IT dork? Why not head over to this 32-bit or this 64-bit ISO download site and serve yourself up some Longhorn.
I haven’t followed Microsoft server warez since my legitimate IT days, so I’m not quite sure anyone is particularly interested, but here are a few improvements:
* A “Go Live” license for the integrated IIS 7.0 Web server: The IIS7 Go Live license allows users to host Web applications and .NET 3.0 Web services on Longhorn Beta 3 in live production environments.
* Integration of the Windows PowerShell scripting environment into Longhorn Server.
* Active Directory Federation Services improvements that allow users to implement new policies and make it easier to set up a relationship between trusted partners.
* Support for eight Server Core roles (instead of the four previously announced).
* Additional remote administration tools to provide a more integrated management environment. * Windows Firewall is now on by default.
* Network Access Protection (NAP) is integrated with Microsoft Update and Windows Update, allowing administrators to decide which updates are critical and set policies accordingly.
Need eight Server Core roles? Sure you do. We all do, really.

Let me re-use a quote from the last episode of The Office: John, you ignorant slut! As a matter of fact there are people out there who care about Longhorn Server (not necessarily including myself).
More importantly, a lof of people believe that the release of Longhorn Server (or whatever its name will be) will have a Big Bang effect on all other Microsoft products, most likely spawning updates for Vista (Sp1), Office 2007, and other products.
I don’t really feel strongly about this, I just felt like calling someone an ignorant slut :-)

I’m actually excited about it, that’s probably because I’m an MS guy and can’t wait to get exchange 07 running on longhorn.

You are right! There is a lot to be excited about with LHS. Check out more at the MSDN technical center: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/longhorn/default.mspx
