This IDC study reviews the growth of the Windows Server product family during 2008 and provides a shipment and installed base forecast through 2013 for the Windows SOE products. This document considers the adoption of Windows Server 2008, and the growing uptake of Windows Server 2008 R2 starting this year.

"The economic downturn and the potential for recovery are the big story today, but I would argue that Windows Server 2008 is an enabler Microsoft customers can leverage during the forthcoming recovery," said Al Gillen, research VP, System Software at IDC. "Now is not the time for radical shifts in strategy. Looking forward, customers need to take a pragmatic and practical approach to evolving their IT and consider new features that Windows Server 2008 offers as part of that evolutionary movement to tomorrow's IT."
