Is there any real reason to upgrade my web servers from windows server 2008 to server 2008 R2? I know I get a new memory manager and IIS 7.5 but what are the actual advantages vs marketing hype.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" tends to apply here. If you see nothing wrong with your current setup, I wouldn't mess with it. If you have pain points, it's easier to enumerate the worst ones and see if different software can alleviate those. – Chris S♦ Feb 28 '11 at 21:26
