Windows Server 2008 Editions   Windows Server® 2008 Standard is the most robust Windows Server operating system to date. Built with enhanced Web and virtualization capabilities, it is designed to increase the reliability and flexibility of your server infrastructure while helping save time and reduce costs. Powerful tools give you greater control over your servers and streamline configuration and management tasks. Plus, enhanced security features work to harden the operating system to help protect your data and network and provide a solid, highly-dependable foundation for your
Windows Server 2008 Editions  Windows Server® 2008 Enterprise delivers an enterprise-class platform for deploying business- critical applications. Improve availability with failover clustering. Improve security with consolidated identity management features. Reduce infrastructure costs by consolidating applications with virtualization licensing rights. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise provides the foundation for a highly dynamic, scalable IT infrastructure.
Windows Server 2008 Editions  Windows Server® 2008 Datacenter delivers an enterprise-class platform for deploying business- critical applications and large-scale virtualization on small and large servers. Improve availability with clustering and dynamic hardware partitioning capabilities. Reduce infrastructure costs by consolidating applications with unlimited virtualization licensing rights. Scale from 2 to 64 processors. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter provides a foundation on which to build enterprise-class virtualization and scale-up solutions.
Windows Server 2008 Editions  Designed to be used specifically as a single- purpose Web server, Windows® Web Server 2008 delivers on a rock solid foundation of Web infrastructure capabilities in the next generation Windows Server 2008. Integrated with the newly re-architected IIS 7.0, ASP.NET, and the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Web Server 2008 enables any organization to rapidly deploy Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, and Web services.

Hyper-V  Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based technology that is a feature of Windows Server 2008. Windows hypervisor is a thin layer of software running directly on the hardware, which works in conjunction with an optimized instance of Windows Server 2008 that allows multiple operating system instances to run on a physical server simultaneously. It leverages the powerful enhancements of processors and provides customers with a scalable, reliable, security- enhanced and highly available virtualization platform.
Hyper-V requires specific hardware  An x64-based processor. Hyper-V will be available only in the x64-based versions of Windows Server 2008—specifically, the x64- based versions of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, and Windows Server 2008 Datacenter.  Hardware-assisted virtualization. This is available in processors that include a virtualization option; specifically Intel VT or AMD-V.  Hardware Data Execution Protection (DEP) must be available and be enabled. Specifically, you must enable Intel XD bit (execute disable bit) or AMD NX bit (no execute bit).
Difference between windows 2003 and windows 2008  Windows 2008 gives you two installation types, Full installation and Server Core installation  Windows server 2008 Installation is faster because it’s 32 bit where as 2003 it is 16 bit as well as 32 bit  Windows deployment services (WDS) instead of RIS in 2003 server  Services are known as role in windows server 2008, like Active Directory has been renamed to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)  Virtualization (Hyper-V) is the main difference between windows 2003 and windows 2008  PowerShell been fully supported, you can manage easily using PowerShell script and PowerShell commands
Difference between windows 2003 and windows 2008  Difference between Group Policy 2003 and 2008  New power-saving features been introduced in windows server 2008. It includes updated support for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) processor power management (PPM) features, including support for processor performance states (P-states) and processor idle sleep states on multiprocessor systems. These features can be managed through Group Policies.  Security has been Improved, features like Bitlocker  IIS updated version
