Recently several of our clients have contacted us because they have received Windows Server 2008 disks in the mail from Microsoft and they’re not sure what to do with them. In most cases this software is sent to clients who are currently using Windows Server 2003 as part of the Microsoft Software Assurance program.

Unless there is a significant business need compelling you to upgrade we recommend that most clients wait until Windows Server 2008 SP1 has been released, otherwise you can simply store those CD’s for now.
