What is Windows Server 2008?

Windows Server 2008, also known as Windows Server Longhorn, is the seventh major version of the Windows NT operating system, released on February 27, 2008. Derived from Windows Vista, it succeeds Windows Server 2003 R2 and is the last version to support 32-bit processors. This operating system introduces Hyper-V and inherits Vista's enhancements, including a revamped networking stack, improved security features like BitLocker and ASLR, and.NET Framework 3.0 technologies. It also allows for dynamic hardware partitioning, enabling independent allocation of system resources for enhanced flexibility.
