Pros: Solid server OS. The change from Windows 7 interface to Windows 8.1. Could be a pro/con depending on your preference. The improvements to the OS are worth dealing with the change for me. I use Hyper-V and it has been improved.
Cons: None really. Having to buy CALs separately.
Overall Review: If you buy a standard desktop motherboard to use with Windows Server 2012, there is the possibility that the integrated Ethernet NIC may not be supported.
