Microsoft is on track to release the first full test version of the next major Windows release by the end of June, a Microsoft executive said on Monday.
Microsoft's efforts to bolster security in Windows XP will likely delay the release of a widespread test version of its forthcoming operating system until next year, Microsoft's top executives said.
5,000 testers are to form the initial front line of testing for what is likely to become Windows Server 2007. A date for an open beta is yet to emerge
Microsoft on Wednesday said it is releasing its first public test version of Windows Server 'Longhorn' as the company works to get the release out the door.
With Windows Vista, Microsoft had to cut features to try to get the release out the door. With its upcoming server release, though, Microsoft is actually adding a few features.
After months of keeping its prized cow in the barn, Microsoft is beginning to let Longhorn out of the stall for public viewing.
Microsoft has removed some of the functionality from the next version of Windows to bring forward the release date, which could make the decision to upgrade even more difficult for some companies.
Bill Gates' dream of an end-to-end search tool for corporate networks remains just that: a dream, at least until the end of the decade.
From features and requirements to versions and release dates, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming update to the dominant operating system.
After five years without a major update to Windows, Microsoft will find plenty of willing buyers for Longhorn next year. Or will it?
The long-awaited release of Exchange Server 2007 is fast approaching and, according to Microsoft, it will ship in "late 2006 or early 2007".
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
Windows Vista delivers some pretty snazzy new graphics, but all that "wow" can be a real drain.
Microsoft has more to do on its new operating system, but this first beta suggests that Windows Vista will be up to par with Linux and Apple Mac OS X.
Although Microsoft is looking to rope in Longhorn developers now, the company knows it's in for a long ride. The operating system is years away from being finished.
