    Server 2008 R2 licenses and differences to win 7


    I wonder if Server 2008 R2 will run with the "old" Server 2008 license keys. Does anybody know?

    And: Is Server 2008 R2 really equivalent to Win 7 as Server 2008 was to Vista? Is it as snappy and does it feature the new desktop enhancements?

    There is no chance that the keys will be the same.

While I'm still stabilising the overclock on my PC, can I ask if anyone has installed Visual Studio 2008 & SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7 x64 7600?
