Longhorn Server to be christened Windows Server 2008
link: original article - section: windows
To next to no one's surprise, Microsoft is going to christen Longhorn Server "Windows Server 2008." And it might do so as early as next week to coincide with the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Los Angeles.
How can I be so sure?
Microsoft posted the new name on its Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHec) 2007 press site.
Here is the link to the site.
If you look quickly (before anyone at Microsoft has a chance to undo this), you will see the new name, too. On the right hand column, the hotlink link for "Windows Server 2008 Reviewers Guide" takes you to Longhorn Server Beta 3 reviewer's guide. (I've included to the left a capture of the box from the Web page, justfor posterity.)
Microsoft's official response on the new name: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation."
