This version was planned in January 2010 but was released in February 2010 a month later and is based on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Hardware requirements for MultiPoint stations are non-proprietary, and virtually any multi-monitor video card, mouse, keyboard, monitor and some desktop Computers that is supported on all Windows and it's Server "2008 R2" can be used to build a station.

[4] Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 is available for purchase via either OEMs or academic volume licensing.

The Academic version, acquired via Academic Volume Licensing, supports domain join and no licensing restrictions on station count (however, hardware limits still apply), but requires a Windows Server 2008 R2 client access license (CAL) and a Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 CAL per station, while the non-Academic version that is acquired via OEMs is limited to 10 stations maximum and does not support domain join, but only requires a Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 CAL per station and no Windows Server 2008 R2 CALs.

[5][9][10] On 27 November 2012, Microsoft released Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 to manufacturing.
