Server 2012

I had a chance to stand up a VM running server 2012.  I was fearful that the GUI would be the same as Windows 8 and I was right.  The start menu has been replaced by the tile desktop look.  I did not play with it too much as I was turned off by this.  The only real benefited upgrades from server 2008 are to do with Hyper-V which I am not a fan of.  Perhaps Microsoft has made some strides in the virtualization world, but this VMware fanboy will stick to what works!
