It's a Server...

it doesn't need a creative name.

Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008

Why is this news? Why did we think this server would be named something different? It's a server. I would be disappointed if they came up with a Vista-ish name.

same software, different year

put the same software, in a new box, call the media, free publicity.

not surprising that they haven't changed their own status quo, they haven't done anything innovative, or created anything unique for server software since the introduction of 2000 server.
