Anyone out there have any insight on which OS to use for a new server we are looking to get. Though there is a premium on it, the Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter Edition looks like the OS to get but it is just hype and marketing from Microsoft??

TIA!

You can only get datacenter edition from server vendor, and it runs on big iron only. May start looking at win2k8 now.
