Most of us have heard of “oversharing” in the social sense (i.e. giving out too many details of your personal life), but how about “undersharing” in the Windows Server realm? What does that even mean?

On September 26, 2016, Microsoft announced the general availability of Windows Server 2016. We already have a taste of what the user interface looks like from Windows 10.

Many other heavy-hitting server-only features will be here soon.

Typically, Microsoft announces some big thing at TechEd each year. In 2012, it was the unveiling of the final features to be released with Windows 8 and Server 2012. These were both known quantities, but the feature parade was stunning nonetheless.

This year Microsoft did not disappoint. They announced the upcoming release of Windows Server 2012 “R2” and System Center “R2.”
