Topic: Server 2012 goes RTM!

According to reports all over the web, Server2012 has gone final-code and in manufacturing.
Several sources report a leaked version is available (posting links is against forum rules).

Is anyone going to buy this for a Home Server replacement?  At ~$450 per license, it's an expensive home purchase.
I'm hoping that Server 2012 "Foundation" will be the eventual cost-effective version to replace Home Server 2011.

Thoughts?

Edit:  Note that MS apparently started driving the new standard due to thermal issues with standard thumbdrives!

... I note that embedded drivers were available for Win XP for similar support, of a kind.  hmm

... Raspberry Pi support not included (excepting RT?).
