A monthly newsletter from the Technet team in the Netherlands was sent out to thousands of Dutch IT Pros. Every month Microsoft-vet Tony Krijnen writes this letter and sends it out. However this month, something different is being noticed:
Tony wrote in his letter “Zo hebben Daniël en ik net een uitgebreide training achter de rug over de mogelijkheden van Windows 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) en alles over het Software+Services concept”. (Translation: Daniël and I just completed an extended training on the features of Windows 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) and on everything related to the Software+Services concept).
The most remarkable bit being of course the notation of Windows Server 2008 R2 right after Windows 7 thus meaning Windows Server 2008 R2 will be based on Windows 7? One can only speculate at this point as Microsoft won’t talk on Windows 7 openly just yet.

Thanks Ward Ralston for the information.
This has never been a secret so I am not sure what the ‘Microsoft Confirmation’ is about. :-) We have communicated through the Windows Server 2008 launch wave that the next version of Windows Server would be our R2 release.
This is keeping with out 2/4 year major/minor release cadence.
