Virtualisation will be the key to the popularity of Microsoft's long-awaited server operating system, Windows Server 2008, analysts have predicted.
Microsoft said on Wednesday that the follow-on to its Windows Server 2008 operating system will be an interim release due to arrive in 2009.
In recent years, tech enthusiasts have turned to Microsoft's spring hardware conference as a chance to get juicy tidbits on where the software maker was headed with the next version of Windows.

An early test version of the next major release of Microsoft Windows has been leaked onto the Net, offering a glimpse of the company's plans for the new software.
Windows Server 2003 will be launched in 'modules' in an effort to make Microsoft as responsive as the open-source community to development issues.
