04.03.2009Microsoft: 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. ..

27.06.2007SQL Server 2008 to RTM after February Launch
Even though Microsoft is

Microsoft officials had said
to expect SQL Server 2008 to

a number of Community
Technology Preview releases
(and few, if any, traditional
betas). Now that due date is a
little more clear.

12.07.2007Cut 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.
