Microsoft WIN8 Server Kernel cloud computing price cheaper

March 23 News, Foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reported that Microsoft improved the server kernel in Windows 8, making it more fluent and user affinity better. As a result, Microsoft says it can save thousands of of dollars or more, just because it uses this feature in their private cloud computing.

It is reported that the server kernel is a disassembled version of a Windows server that includes only the specific features required by the server, such as a DNS server (domain name resolution Server) or a text print server, and that the server kernel does not require other components included in the Windows Server, such as the GUI (graphical user interface) and web browsers.

It is understood that Microsoft first introduced the Server kernel installation option in Windows Server 2008, but this functionality is limited, and as many users complain, it is not very flexible or personalized. In fact, it's either an all-or-nothing configuration that requires the user to install a full version of the Windows Server, or a reduced version of the functionality that Microsoft has predetermined.

"User feedback results show that the server kernel is very limited in Windows Server 2008," said David Cross, a Microsoft Windows Server cooperation project manager. ”
