Remember that Microsoft page that said that a Windows 7 RC would be public available on May the 5th? Turns out it was dead on, as the Redmond-based
company have written a blog post confirming it. For those of you who are MSDN and TechNet subscribers, you can look forward to an April 30 release,
but as mentioned, us mere mortals are stuck waiting just over an extra month. The blog post also has some rather cool facts: at certain points during
testing, bug reports and feedback were coming in every 15 seconds for a week flat. It goes to show that beta testers really do make a difference.

19.10.2005Microsoft: 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. ..
