In-Depth: Windows 8 Beta Server and Client

Total Running Time: 179 min

It would be fair to say that Windows 8 is the most anticipated operating system release in the history of Microsoft. New features abound: a brand new user interface with an entirely new application model, support for a new architecture that enables Windows to run on smaller form factors, new touch-focused features, huge leaps in Hyper-V capability way beyond the competition, huge enhancements in remote desktop capabilities, new priorities for managing many servers as if you were managing one, new ways to secure data and grant access—and the list goes on.

In the three sessions that comprise our Deep Dive into Windows 8, we’ll look at some of the most important changes coming with the new operating system and what these changes will mean for organizations. We’ll look at what companies can do before its release to prepare for implementing Windows 8 and how to make sure they can hit the ground running without stopping current initiatives pending the RTM of Windows 8.
