Security features are big in Server 2008. We're going to have a nice chance to go in to clients and not just talk about software, but also about adjusting the policies, and that'll likely boost services revenue.
The virtualization feature set that will be part of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V will be more than adequate for most companies. So we're going to be focusing our services efforts around capacity planning and what data centers will need to look like, and then we'll compare and contrast that with other solutions from other vendors.
When you look at total license costs that some companies have organizationally, we may be able to position Windows Server 2008 for the customer and take some of that cost out.
