about the GUI--what ramifications does that have for a someone with a server? I don't quite follow--sorry about the interruption--i must have hit the wrong button.
Don't fret, it's just Windows 8 Server stuff...
"Administrators can eschew the UI altogether by performing a Server Core install of Sever 2012, which uses PowerShell for server management. Most server administrators are used to a GUI for management and it's likely many will want to perform a Full Install. By the time Server 2012 is in final, it's safe to assume that Microsoft will make it easy for admins to opt out of including the Metro interface with a Full Server install."
