Microsoft's foray into the NAS world is a nice combination of features and flexibility. By creating an OEM-only version and allowing partnering vendors to build their own NAS solutions around it, Microsoft gives network admins a range of choices in how they can deploy additional disk space. The fact that Storage Server R2 works with both Windows and Linux/Unix networks is a real plus and opens the door for more opportunities.
