I am used to working with server 2008 r2 but I was wondering if anyone could quickly compare that to windows home server 2012 for me? I wasn't sure if I would lose important features, I probably don't use a fraction of the 2008 r2 features.

I need to be able to setup user accounts and groups for sharing, VPN for remote access, to install software that has to run off a server (Sage ACT for example), configure raid etc.

cheers
