Strengths:
R2 with SP1 is good. I hate having to spend hours updating my software to the latest service pack.
Weaknesses:
OEM, not full retail. so the license will die with the server (which I’m not expecting to happen any time soon, lol)
Comments:
Make sure you know the difference between OEM and Retail. Softwaremedia’s customer service helps a ton and they also have a quality article about OEM vs Retail.
