RE: What are my options, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or...

You are correct. My question was more if 2008 or 2008 R2 was required for Exchange 2010. Since only 2003 is required, and since my current DC's are on 32 bit architecture, I would either move them up to 2008, or get 64 bit architecture (which I need for Exchange 2010 anyway) and put 2008 R2 on it.
