Now everyone and their moms gain access to Microsofts latest and greatest Windows Server product family (and its System Center cousins).

For those of you who have been playing with Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM and Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 RTM since they became available, it’s important to upgrade your Server Core installations from the Release to Manufacturers (RTM) version to the General Availability (GA) version.
