Though not beta quality by any stretch; it's widely deployed and seems
to be pretty solid (for a Windows server).

Windows Server 2008 R2, currently in beta, is probably what you mean
when you're referring to the "Windows 7 Server" beta. It's an update
release of Windows Server 2008, kinda like Windows 98 Second Edition was
of Win98, that adds some features, polishes things, and (oddly for a
fairly minor release) drops 32 bit hardware support completely. It still
runs 32 bit programs, but the OS its self requires x86-64 support.
