What's the Difference between Windows Storage Server and Windows SAK 2.0?

Hello,

What is the difference between Windows Storage Server and Windows SAK 2.0? I can't seem to find anything that tells me what SAK is compared to the Storage Server.

Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated!

in otherwords Matt,

Storage Server is the actual Operating System on a Network Attached Storage server and SAK is a toolkit used by OEM's to quickly build an appliance OS similar to the OS on a NAS.

Storage Server can be considered a product of SAK. (Or so it seems.)
