Windows Server 2008 Performance Improvements
A lot of you guys know that Windows Server 2008, together with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has been released to manufacturing (RTM) last week. A lot of testers, both from a selected few and subscribers of TechNet and MSDN Subscriptions have been downloading and testing Windows Server 2008 over the past few days. We've received a lot of good feedbacks on the performance and stability and it goes without saying that Microsoft is really happy to know that the customers loved what they are seeing now because the product really had evolved based on the feedbacks you guys have been sending to the product group.
Locally, coming from a thread started by a proprietor and developer of GSoft Solutions, a local ISV and Microsoft Partner focused on custom-developing Windows and web applications targetted to school and academic use, Glenn Gamboa shared his actual experience in using Windows Server 2008 x64 RTM. He recently have installed the product and uses it today for his various projects in development, testing, evaluation and even for demonstration purposes to customers. He feels more confident now to use Windows Server 2008 than Windows Vista for most of his tasks. He also made mention of performance improvements on the product, particularly when running his custom-developed applications and those using WPF.
Glenn Gamboa is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional awardee for his expertise on SQL Server, currently the head of Philippine SQL Server Users Group and is part of the local community heroes, a circle composed of community leaders and experts.
