Is this based on Vista? I assume it is. If so I won't be touching it ...

Think it is based on Server 2003 but I could be wrong, I ran a very early build and wouldn't have enough usefulness to merit the cost if in the market for something new unless from what I am seeing it does a good job with the added features, the one I had was nothing much to speak of however.

It's written on the 2003 server kernel

Based on 'Longhorn' code. Formerly known as Windows Longhorn Server. :christo:

MS's best product by far.
