Windows Server 2008, Vista SP1, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008 RTM'd!!!

The moment we've all been waiting for (well, not really). As of 5:45am February 4th Windows Server 2008 Officially RTM'd. This means that Windows Vista SP1 is also RTM. (RTM == Release to Manufacturers). For all of you who want to go ahead and jump on it keep in mind that you need to consult the Windows Server Catalog and remember, it is Microsoft's Best Practice not to do in-place upgrades unless its simply a Windows Server 2003 machines doing DNS, AD or DHCP ONLY! Instead, if you need to migrate, you need to stick with the "Clean" method which is, of course, a slick-n-reload scenario. Read Microsoft's official best practice / RTM press release for Server 2008 and this one for Vista SP1. Good luck to us all; experience tells me we will need it...
