11.11.2006 Longhorn Reloaded - What Vista Might Have Been
You may remember Windows Longhorn as the codename for the project that eventually led to Windows Vista. But some folks out there arent satisfied with that explanation. They say Longhorn was meant to be much more, before Microsoft changes its goals for the final release, stripping the new WinFS file system among other things.

been notified that the test
has been "restarted" under
the old name "Windows Vista,

Beta"
The latest
build, Windows Longhorn Server
6001-16406-061208-1900 for X86
and X64 is available for
download and testing. As of
yet there is still no final
designation for the server
version but we'd still like
to speculate that it will end
up as Windows Server 2007
seeing as Microsoft already
made it clear when Windows
Server 2003 was released that
it intended to stay with the
"Windows Server"
branding.
Windows
Longhorn Server didn't
receive much attention at the
Consumer Electronic Show, it
was shadowed by Windows Vista
and the Windows Home Server
announcement, hopefully this
will change when WinHEC hits
later this year in LA.

22.12.2006Two Server Releases, One Day
It's a busy day on Microsoft
Connect today, as two new, and
anxiously awaited downloads
appear.
It
seems that both Beta 2 of
Windows Home Server as well as
the February CTP of Windows
Server codenamed "Longhorn"
have been released.
For those who
applied for the Windows Home
Server techbeta program, check
your inbox, as invitation
emails have just gone
out.
There
are several downloads
available for Windows Home
Server, the main installation
iso, connector iso and restore
iso are all available for
separate downloads. All three
combined total to an
approximate 1.8GB. It is still
unknown whether or not the
release is x86 or x64 as it
has not been disclosed on
Connect. (Although, judging by
the file size, it appears to
be x86)
The
February CTP of Longhorn
Server weighs in at about
2.5GB for x64 and 1.8GB for
x86

07.09.2007Windows Vista Beta 2 /
Longhorn Server Update
Microsoft have started
releasing updates during the
Windows Vista/Longhorn beta,
this one is of particular
interest due to the fact that
many people -including myself,
have a hyper-threaded system
with Windows Vista Beta 2
installed on it (not my
primary system, in case you
were wondering).
Update for Windows
Vista Beta 2 and Windows
Codename Longhorn Server Beta
2 (KB919946)
Install this update
to fix an issue where in the
presence of Internet Protocol
security (IPsec) or Windows
Firewall, a race condition can
be hit on multi-processor (or
hyper-threaded) systems
causing memory corruption,
leading to a system
crash.
It is
unknown if this affects the
recently released build 5456,
fiile date is 27th so it
probably does.

13.09.2006Microsoft reveals focus for
Longhorn Itanium
Microsoft has revealed
that Longhorn, the next
manifestation of Windows
Server, will be optimised for
three specific workloads. The
company said that the Itanium
version would be designed to
support databases, ERP and CRM
application and customised
applications.
The forthcoming release is
due sometime in 2007. The
Itanium version of Windows
Server is the OS for servers
running on Intel's x64
Itanium processor, which is
targeted mainly at high-end
enterprise
customers.
Because
of the specific high-end
optimisation plans, the
Longhorn release for Itanium
won't be a good fit for
servers handling less
computing-intensive
applications. These include
applications such as Windows
Media Services and Windows
SharePoint Services, or common
office functions such as file
and print and
faxing.
The plan to
tweak versions of Longhorn for
specific business needs meets
the objectives of a strategy
outlined by Bob Muglia, senior
vice president for the Windows
Server Division, at
Microsoft's TechEd Conference
in June. Muglia outlined what
Microsoft is calling "the
right server for the right
job."..

24.05.2006Longhorn Server to Be Named Windows Server 2007
ActiveWin are claiming that
the final designation for
Windows Codenamed Longhorn
Server will be Windows Server
2007 after all, how original!
Speculated here long before
Vista hit RTM.
"An
unnamed Microsoft official
just confirmed to
ActiveWin.com that the new
Windows server succeeding
Windows Server 2003 will be
named Windows Server 2007, now
known in its beta form as
Windows Server "Longhorn".
Windows Server 2007 is
currently slated to be
released in the second half of
2007, culminating a long beta
process which began in early
2005. In addition, development
has begun on the next series
of MSCE certification tests
geared for Windows Server
2007."
An
interesting point to note,
Longhorn Server is not
expected to be completed
before the start of the second
half of 2007. We all know how
good Microsoft are for keeping
dates, so anything could
'still' happen. For now at
least it's Windows Server
2007.
