Windows Server 2008, Vista SP1 complete: Ballmer

Microsoft has wrapped up development of two major products, Windows Server 2008 and the Service Pack 1 update to Windows Vista, chief executive Steve Ballmer told financial analysts on Monday.

"Both products have released to manufacturing today, which is good news," Ballmer said.

Ballmer highlighted a few big corporate deployments of Vista, including one at Continental Airlines, which is in the process of upgrading 10,000 systems.

"We think we are turning the corner in terms of enterprise deployment, and Service Pack 1 will be a huge boon," Ballmer said.

Microsoft is due to formally launch Windows Server 2008 on 27 February at an event in Los Angeles.
