It is May 24th.  I called QB Support this morning to verify that Enterprise 22.0 Release R4P would run under Microsoft Server 2022.  Our server hosts the data - we run QB on Desktops.  I was told that it would run under Server 2022.  This is critical and I trust QB Support to provide the correct answer.
