Microsoft announces RTM of W12 Essentials. Several MS documents have also been revised or updated with the latest W12 Essentials information.
Here are a few highlights & linked docs to share with everyone:
* W12 Essentials is now in RTM. The downloadable bits are available from the Eval Center

* W12 Essentials updated Licensing & Pricing FAQ’s W12 FAQ

http://microsoft.com/essentials2012* Foundation Server 2012 licensing & pricing remain the same
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/windows-server/2008-r2-foundation.aspxOn an overall note, most will recall that SBS information was posted individually for easy reading for SB focused partners. Now the Essentials information is listed within the Window Server 2012 Family documentation. I hope that Microsoft separates or makes it easier for us to follow Essentials progress.
