Guitars, Operating Systems, and Technological Evolutions (Or Revolutions?) Forecasting the Impact of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Guitars, Operating Systems, and Technological Evolutions (or Revolutions?) Forecasting the Impact of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 This is the first in a four-part series from Dell describing the vast potential of the new Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system.1 Additional topics will include strategic and tactical choices in migrating to the new OS from Windows Server 2003, the most efficient tools for the job, and how your team can handle inherent challenges. Evolution or revolution? It’s an age-old debate with thousands of examples, especially when it comes to technology used in many walks of life, from business to music. Take George Beauchamp as an example. In 1925, he experimented with guitar string, a piece of wood, and a magnetic pickup from an electric phonograph. Over the course of six years, his work evolved from tinkering in his dining room with a motor from his wife’s sewing machine to combining his inventiveness with the vision of another engineer, Adolph Rickenbacker. Together, they created the first commercially viable electric guitar – the Rickenbacker – a favorite instrument for pioneers such as the Beatles, clearly an evolution, and a revolution that continues to impact all types of popular music. Fast-forward 83 years and we’ve got so many technological evolutions that we can’t keep up. Many are transient, fads really. Others are enduring cornerstones that shape the way we live, how we express ourselves and how we conduct business. 1While there are plenty of promising features in Microsoft Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012, for brevity sake, we have chosen to focus on 2012 R2. This brings us to one of the biggest business-technology evolution stories of the decade: Microsoft Windows Server OS migration. More than 23 million servers in the world are still running on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system, making it the most popular engine for serving information and applications globally for over a decade. But, starting in July 2015, Microsoft will no longer provide basic support for it. There’ll be no more patches or bug practices. Because in one way or fixes for the old operating system.
