First look at Windows Server 2016: 'Cloud for the masses'? We'll be the judge of that

Re: Works in VirtualBox...

For most SMEs the licensing will be the same: this assumes that you have up to 8cores per CPU. Certainly for us the price is the same (3 node cluster, each node has 2x 6 core CPUs) each 2016 std licence is sold in a pack of 8+8 core (previously each std was a 2 CPU license) so we need the same overall numbers. We have 6 windows hyper-v VMs so we need 3x 8+8 per node, 9 in total for the cluster - same as before.

I suppose the real losers on this will be those who moved to 2x 12 cores as they will need 2x16 lic, they will be shafted by this.
