According to this article (thanks www.ActiveWin.com for the link) at Network World, Server 2008 may flop. Why? Because 50% of IT Pros surveyed have no plans to deploy Server 2008.

Vista’s alleged fizzle with the general public could be affecting Microsoft’s ability to convince those same people that work in businesses that Server 2008 will be better.
