Microsoft: Windows Server 2008 Not Delayed

Speculation has been growing in the media that Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed "Longhorn," could be delayed past its release to manufacturing (RTM) date of the second half of 2007, and slip into 2008. Microsoft, on its Windows Server Division blog today, says "it just ain't so."

The very brief note reads in full: "Today we noticed a couple articles which have incorrectly speculated about a Windows Server 2008 delay. Actually, we remain fully on track for Windows Server 2008's release to manufacturing in the second half of 2007, with general availability following after that as usual."

Microsoft has given no more specific timetable for the new OS's release, but the name gives a hint that it will be released late in 2007 at the earliest. Windows Server 2008 is currently in beta 3 release, and is feature complete, according to Microsoft. ..

Network World is reporting that Microsoft Tuesday released the next beta version of Windows Server 2008 that adds options for installing Microsoft's newest Web server.

The Community Technology Preview (CTP), which is Microsofts lingo for its release cycle of beta software, is available to MSDN subscribers, TechNet subscribers and Connect testers.

This is the first CTP since Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 was released in April. Microsoft officials say 200,000 copies of Beta 3 have been downloaded. With the new CTP, Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0 is now an installation option under the Server Core feature of the server. ..

2,600 sites running Windows Server 2008 on the Internet

Microsoft has recently switched its main website, www.microsoft.com to Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft-IIS/7.0

Although Windows Server 2008 is not yet released, Beta 3 is publicly available for early adopters to use. Internet Information Server 7 is already released, but will probably not see widespread use until Windows Server 2008 (formerly "Longhorn") is released, since it only runs on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

There are already around 2,600 sites running Windows Server 2008 on the Internet. Whilst some of the servers running Windows Server 2008 are at Microsoft itself, the majority are not, with developers and hosting companies taking advantage of Windows Server 2008's availability under a Go Live license which allows the beta to be used for testing or in a live environment without cost...

SQL Server 2008 to RTM after February Launch

Even though Microsoft is launching SQL Server 2008, code-named Katmai, in February 2008, the SQL Server 2008 code wont be released to manufacturing until Q2 2008.

Until its Worldwide Partner Conference this week, Microsoft officials had said to expect SQL Server 2008 to ship some time in 2008, after a number of Community Technology Preview releases (and few, if any, traditional betas). Now that due date is a little more clear.

The unified Windows Server 2008-SQL Server 2008-Visual Studio 2008 launch is slated for February 27, 2008, in Los Angeles.

Cut to the Web Server Core: Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2008, due for its official launch today, is a major upgrade for Microsoft's server platform, the first for around five years. Requiring a graphical user interface (GUI) on a server operating system always seemed odd, even back in 1993 when Microsoft released Windows NT 3.1.



It has taken Microsoft until now to begin fixing the problem. Server 2008 comes with an installation option called Server Core, and although it is not quite GUI-free (Notepad and Regedit still run), it is command-line driven and lacks most of the baggage that previously came as standard. The snag with Server Core is that it is incomplete.
