Customer Feedback: Regular, compatible, and consistent server updates with great targeted innovation R2 Approach Major release (4 years) includes minor “R2” update Focus on feature refinement & addressing industry trends Optional nature gives IT flexibility to deploy latest technology No new CALs but delivers on SA value Emphasis on compatibility for hardware, apps, drivers This R2 Release Joint development among client and server First 64-Bit Only release Power Virtualization Multi/Many-core 64-Bit Addressing Industry Trends

Software applications designed for Windows Server 2008 may not be automatically compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft is recommending enterprises test and evaluate software applications for full functionality on Windows Server 2008 R2. ISVs, IT Pros and developers should test custom and packaged software applications designed for Windows Server 2008 before deploying on Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft is working with ISVs to critical apps, such as anti-virus, back-up and management software. Microsoft is offering an easy path to WS08R2 certification at no cost to all WS08 certified applications through the completion of the “Works with” 2008 R2 test.

Customer Evidence By using improved Hyper-V™ technology and Remote Desktop Services, Continental expects to increase system uptime, implement new services in minutes instead of weeks, and save up to U.S.$1.5 million a year in hardware, software, labor, implementation, and related operational costs -Continental Airlines “In our environment, a single physical server running Windows Server 2008 and the original Hyper-V can support about 10 to 15 of our standard workloads. Windows Server 2008 R2 with the improved Hyper-V can support more than 30. From a fixed capital asset perspective alone, that’s a savings of $60,000 to $80,000 per Hyper-V server.” -Continental Airlines

New network paradigm enables same experience inside & outside the office Seamless access to network resources increases productivity of mobile users Infrastructure investments also make it easy to service mobile PCs and distribute updates and polices Difficult for users to access corporate resources from outside the office Challenging for IT to manage, update, patch mobile PCs while disconnected from company network HomeOfficeHome DirectAccess™ Office

Caches content downloaded from file and Web servers Users in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cache Frees up network bandwidth for other uses BranchCache™ Application and data access over WAN is slow in branch offices Slow connections hurt user productivity Improving network performance is expensive and difficult to implement

Customer Evidence “Taking advantage of the BranchCache feature in Windows Server 2008 R2, we can spend $20,000 rather than $50,000 per year on bandwidth by postponing our expansion schedule.” -Sporton Using the BranchCache™ features in Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows 7, CCO has simplified remote connection to its network and speed the downloading of important files. It has cut costs by eliminating its virtual private network and has seen a 43 percent savings in wide area network (WAN) bandwidth. -Convergent Computing

Remote access is now ubiquitous Comprehensive anywhere access for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Seamless, always-on, secure connectivity; no separate client software required Utilizes networking technologies already in Windows Server 2008 No separate action required to connect to corpnet while remote. Corpnet is simply there. Leverages policy-based network access Enables desktop management regardless of client location.
