The latest preview of Windows Server Build 25099 has been announced, and Microsoft has officially released ISO and VHDX images. However, as in the past, Microsoft does not officially provide an update log, so it is not clear what new features and improvements are available.
Microsoft says again that the brand has not been updated and is still Windows Server 2022 in preview. In addition, Microsoft encourages Insider to try Windows Server Vnext Datacenter.
