Anyone as Excited as I am about windows server 2008?

The main reason why I am excited is the core os. Finally a dumbed down windows server os that I can use for file servers.  What do you guys think? Anyone start using exchange 2007 yet?

The article blurb on core: 

Server Core

Server Core is a minimal installation option for Windows Server 2008 that contains only a subset of executable files and server roles. Management is done through the command line (see Figure 1) or through an unattended configuration file.

According to Microsoft, "Server Core is designed for use in organizations that either have many servers, some of which need only to perform dedicated tasks but with outstanding stability, or in environments where high security requirements require a minimal attack surface on the server." Accordingly, there are limited roles that Core servers can perform. They are:

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
• Domain Name System (DNS) server
• File server, including the file replication service, the distributed file system (DFS), distributed file system replication (DFSR), the network file system and single instance storage (SIS)
• Print services
• Domain controller, including a read-only domain controller
• Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) server
• Windows server virtualization
• IIS, although only with a portion of its normal abilities -- namely, only static HTML hosting, and no dynamic Web application support
• Windows Media Services (WMS)
