Bangalore: Microsoft’s new Windows Server 8 comes with plentiful features and adequacies, which will mark one of the biggest change to Windows Server OS since Windows Server 2000.

The product which is expected to be released in October this year had already launched its pre beta developer’s version.

Here are some interesting features of Windows Server 8, which according to InfoWorld, will help you decide whether to love it or hate it.

Love the new file system, ReFS, a makeover to NTFS

Resilient File System (REFS) inherits some features from NTFS. It is designed to be resilient from breakdowns that happen to complex hardware storage systems and is also RAID compatible.

Hate: Windows Server 8 is not a cloud object

Microsoft prefers PaaS model, where the platform is used as least sophisticated level in the cloud. With this Microsoft will have strict controls on all dimensions including OS payload and maximal licensing costs and it also prevents commoditizing server licenses.
