Microsoft has begun including references to Windows Server 2008 in Windows Vista Knowledge Base Articles. This isn’t surprising as Server 2008 and Vista share a ton of code. Three of the articles released on August 1st make reference in some way to Server 2008. A ‘warning’ has been added to these articles pointing out that Server 2008 is a beta, and no formal support is provided.

Here is the actual warning that appears in the articles:
