This publication is the first in the Hardware Support and Directions for Windows Server series, which shares the Microsoft intention and investment direction for support of specific hardware technologies in current and future releases of the Windows Server operating system. This series focuses on Windows Server features that are relevant to the hardware capabilities of a server.

The series provides reference material for engineers who design servers or their core electronic components, technical decision makers, system architects, and server product planners who want their systems to support future releases of the Windows Server family of operating systems.
