Though the next version of Windows Server is not expected until 2007, Microsoft said on Thursday that it's on track to deliver a beta version of the operating system this US summer.
Companies running Windows 2000 should start thinking about testing the operating system formerly known as Longhorn from the first beta release, but everyone else can afford to wait, according to Gartner
Microsoft has passed a major milestone with the release of its first full test version of Windows Vista, the next generation of its flagship operating system.
After months of limited testing, Microsoft late on Wednesday made a beta version of Windows Vista publicly available for download.
Microsoft said on Wednesday it is releasing an updated test version of Windows Vista, the forthcoming update to Microsoft's flagship operating system.
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.
Microsoft is outsourcing some of the work related to its next-generation operating system to India, according to a labour group.
After five years without a major update to Windows, Microsoft will find plenty of willing buyers for Longhorn next year. Or will it?
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 months of keeping its prized cow in the barn, Microsoft is beginning to let Longhorn out of the stall for public viewing.
After almost a year of testing, the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) admits it could save a 'significant amount' of money by adopting Vista's new management capabilities; but will that recoup the cost of re-training 1.2 million users?
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.
In a brief security lapse, early testers of Microsoft software had access to discussions on all of Microsoft's products, rather than just the programs they were testing.
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.
Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Longhorn, the next major version of Windows for desktop PCs, will debut in 2005 and will usher in a new level of graphics for PCs, according to Microsoft executives.
