Microsoft confirms Windows Server '08 name -- again

14 May 2007 06:09 PM

in brief For the second time in recent days, Microsoft has inadvertently confirmed Windows Server 2008 as the official name for Longhorn Server.

Microsoft France had the name up on its Web site on Sunday night, though it may well take it down. Microsoft watcher bink.nu and various enthusiast sites brought attention to the posting. The French slip-up follows an earlier posting on Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHec) 2007 press site, christening Windows Server 2008 as the name for Longhorn Server.

The company is expected to officially give the product its name this week at (WinHEC) in the US.
