Microsoft Hoses Down Windows Server Hardware Support Change Fears

Microsoft has published an interesting post in which he said that made no hardware support for Windows Server changes.

Reg hang! Why do you report a post that says nothing is changing?

The answer, dear readers, is that Microsoft announced in January that it is not compatible with Windows 7 and 8 on the new processors. The effect of this change is that one-on-genealogical Windows 10 users

Users do not respond well to this edict reasonable place, because it deprives them of their choice.

El Reg suspects that some have questioned whether Microsoft plans to do the same with the Windows server, the previous message will begin by stating that "In recent weeks, the Windows Server received a number of requests information regarding certification and support for certain hardware platforms. "

Microsoft's answer is nothing changes. Or, as the Post says, "... Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 will support the extended 01/10/2018. Our policy will allow new bidding system for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 continue to this day, including next family of Intel Xeon E3 (Skylake) ".

In other words, Windows Server users are not led to new hardware, or Windows Server 2016 Azure.

And a good job too, because asking users to play with their PC fleets means a lot of work. Asking users to play with their fleets imposes server business stop and very expensive projects on the clients. Ergo this re-reassuring kind of strange, but also, according to Microsoft.

Microsoft probably has himself to blame for the need to issue such a position. Changes in hardware support Windows are openly cynical. Satya Nadella to Microsoft may be embracing Linux and cloud with enthusiasm and sincerity, but Microsoft is still absolutely not afraid to PC makers and musculature, through them, users when it suits their strategy. So while nothing has changed, for now,

Windows Server users probably know the time will come when Microsoft makes it clear that the upgrade will be all-but-required
