People talk about the release of Windows 7 but, IMHO, today’s release of Windows 2008 R2 on MSDN is more important. Why? Because I beleive developers should have a Server version of Windows installed on their machines. After all, you learn whatever version of Windows you use, and the Server variety is a lot more complex – so you’ll be picking up important new skills that help with enterprise development.
