said if they will ship together. But users who adopt both will get new security, network, and other features although some of those will require
network upgrades like implementing IPv6. The R2 beta's integration with Windows 7 is high on the server's feature list.

05.05.2009Announcing Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 showed its pretty face at the Professional Developers Conference today, here in Los Angeles. Hi there, my names Oliver Rist and
Im a new technical product manager on the Windows Server team. Im down here in La-La Land heaving great sighs of satisfaction as we unveil the first
sneak peeks of pre-beta Windows Server 2008 R2. Though this release is right in line with our announced roadmap strategy for future Server releases,
there are several items of note with R2:
First and foremost, 32-bit is done. History. Archives. Windows Server 2008 R2 is the
first Windows OS platform to go 64-bit only, and frankly it was high time. Customers have been unable to purchase a 32-bit server CPU for over two
years now, and the advancements in CPU architectures really dictated that we squeeze as much performance out of customers hardware purchases as
possible. The move to 64-bit is a first step.
Youll also find that weve aligned R2 development around four core technology
pillars...
