The Windows version number in Windows Azure Platform
I finished a prototype of performance monitoring system yesterday. One of its functions is to query the version number of running systems.
So then it returns:
It is interesting that the newest server version, Windows Server 2008 R2, does not sit inside Windows Azure Platform. Is the Azure Team also waiting for the Service Pack 1 of Windows Server 2008 R2? To make sure that the new system is safe enough?
So then it returns:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]According to the version number given, the possible Windows system in Windows Azure Platform should be either Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. Obviously, as a server operating system, it is unlikely to be Windows Vista. Therefore, it is for sure that an Azure Instance runs Windows Server 2008 in it.
