TwitterDeploying Windows Server 2008
Now that we’ve examined most of the new features and enhancements that are found in Microsoft Windows Server 2008, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start putting it through its paces. This chapter talks about playing around with Windows Server 2008-how you can get it, and how to install and deploy it for testing and evaluation purposes. After all, you can’t learn about something just by reading about it-you have to get your hands dirty playing with the thing to really understand how it works and what its capabilities are.
Getting Windows Server 2008
How do you get hold of Windows Server 2008 so that you can try it out? You can use a number of channels, but the first place you should go to is TechNet Beta Central-your one-stop location for acquiring public betas and resources for deploying and testing them. At the time of writing this chapter, Windows Server 2008 has almost reached the Beta 3 release milestone, and plans are for Beta 3 to be a public beta that you can download from Beta Central. So to get the latest public release of Windows Server 2008, go to Beta Central, download it, install it, and give it a test drive to see how it handles.
