Windows Server is a server operating system created by Windows. This is based on the Windows Vista kernel, and therefore is built similarly to Windows Vista, but with many network specific features like imaging capabilities.

With it, Novell has innovated and revolutionalized the way that computers communicate to the network, by giving more work to the server, and less to the terminal itself, therefore speeding up the communication between the terminal and the server, and ultimately speeding up the network.
