Server 2008 Changing with SP2

From the Server Core blog:

[Optional Features:]

• Subset of .NET Framework 2.0
• Subset of .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 – WCF, WF, and LINQ
• Windows PowerShell
• ASP.NET and additional IIS support – the only IIS feature not available in Server Core is the management GUI

[...]

Now to wait to learn what “subset” will mean.

As a reminder, Server “Core” is the flavor that is command line only. Lean, mean and no GUI. Perfect for a web server.
