One anticipated feature in the next Windows Server release is the ability to use Windows Server Standard licenses for Windows Server Datacenter virtual machines. Interestingly, this flexibility already exists for CSP subscription license holders but not for Enterprise Agreement clients, a significant portion of Microsoft's customer base.

The hope is that Microsoft will extend this licensing flexibility to Enterprise Agreement clients in the upcoming release.
