If your spending that much money buy a regular Windows server license and 1 server.Of course there are no more Foundation 2008 R2 servers, nor are there downgrade rights since it is sold only with bundled hardware. So why offer a product with RDS that cannot use RDS?Who is going to buy 2 Foundation servers just so they can run RDS? This is all well and good for Server 2012 Standard or Essentials since they come with Hyper-V and a 2 instance license.Foundation does not. For a small office of 2-3 people Foundation was perfect with RDS for remote access to an app or two.Server 2012 is advertised IDENTICALLY to 2008 R2 except now you cannot install RDS on a DC at all. Its perfect for a very small office.Remote Desktop Services was never recommended to be installed on a Domain Controller, but it did work, and it was only a recommendation. 15 user limit, usually sold on single socket E3 or even i5 based hardware. Like Server 2008 R2 it is advertised with the exact same features.Except they do not work as advertised.Foundation server is meant for a small business, very small. Microsoft has released Foundation Server 2012.
