Forget Windows 8, Server 2012 is nice

[REAL]

I've played around with Windows 8 a little but over the last couple of weeks I've been playing with Server 2012. I'm really digging the performance of 2012. It takes a lot of work to get it running like a desktop system with DirectX, audio and such but its wicked fast.

So far I haven't seen anything from Windows 8 that impresses me. I will try it out though once it is released

I've been playing around with server 2008 and its smoking fast too. Notice the 4k write performance

I did like their fast boot time and all but one thing did bother me when I tried beta/developer version. It installed most of my drivers correctly but my crossfire didn't work, only single card was detected in my laptop. as for server 2012, I never knew there was an OS with that name lol.

I am buying the MSDN 199.99 package, it ensures all of my rigs will have everything they need and more.

uh didnt think OS difference would boost SSD performance that much Jon. Maybe your system is so much faster lol.
