Microsoft Press has made its latest book, Introducing Windows Server 2012 by Mitch Tulloch and the Windows Server Team, available for free in e-book formats. Get it while it’s hot. (Or at least free.)
You can find the PDF, ePub, and Mobi versions of Introducing Windows Server 2012 on the Microsoft Press Blog. The cover notes that the book is “based on Beta,” but this isn’t as out of date as it seems: Unlike with Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 was feature complete at beta and hasn’t changed at all, functionally, since then.
