It probably won’t take too long until they come out with new versions. Thanks for your offer regarding the RTM. I had a free Technet Plus subscription, but I forgot to renew it. I guess Microsoft’s press service will help me out. If not, I will come back to you. :) Christophe_P, I suppose you only see it on Connect because you have been invited before. Helmer, maybe only those with a Technet super plus subscription can download the 32-bit version ;-) Lukas, I think most software vendors waited for the RTM to make sure that their apps really work with Server 2008.

And (just as Lukas B. says) it's just the x64 version. A colleague of mine has it installed on his Lenovo laptop. Hyper-V also works fine (beta version).

Only the x64 Version is currently available, but in German and with a MAK Key that has 1500 Activations (I don't think i'll ever use these up). WS2008 RTM includes a pre-release version of Hyper-V. However, i was unable to test it because the only Hyper-V capable Testmachine i have is currently used by another project. If you want/need access to the RTM bits, drop me a note. Regarding adoption: There are many pieces of software not yet supported under WS2008. e.G http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/nos/microsoft.html IBM does not support WS2008 on it's System x product line yet. Backup Exec is also not supported on WS 2008. WSUS V3 isn't supported on WS2008 either - it will be when SP1 is out, but SP1 isn't out yet. We have a major infrastructure renewal coming up during the next months. I will probably push to do this on WS2008, but it will be interesting times ;) We have a normal MSDN Subscribtion as part of our Microsoft Partner Status (2500 CHF per year, 2 MS Certified People).
