Windows Vista and its server sibling are starting to go their separate ways. But come next year, the two will be reunited.
Although Microsoft is hard at work trying to ship Windows Vista this year, the company is beginning to set its sights on the next horizon, Vienna.
Microsoft was preparing to announce Friday in the United States that Windows Server 2003 has completed testing and has been certified final, or gold, code.
The next version of Windows Server is suffering yet another identity crisis.
The addition of '2003' to Windows .Net Server is a clue that the official release is likely to be put back until next year.

Is Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 a mere upgrade of Windows 2000 or is it all it's made out to be?
Microsoft changes the name of its high-end server software for the third time. Windows Server 2003 is scheduled for an April release.
Say what you want about Longhorn, just don't call it Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME) preview has just landed in PC Magazine Labs. Our first take: very similar to Windows 98, but under the hood, improvements to the core OS and some impressive digital media features.
Microsoft has produced an operating system that benefits from the stability and security of Windows 2000 and includes several handy usability enhancements.
The Whistler preview focused on the start-up screen, which allows for easy switching between user profiles without rebooting, a scanner and camera "wizard" that simplifies storing and distributing digital photos and enhanced networking capabilities for running all those devices throughout the home.
Windows XP, the operating system formerly known as Whistler, is designed for people who are afraid of their computers--and for those of us who love and support them. It is, as Bill Gates said, the most important release since Windows 95, and it will change the way many people relate to computers (especially people who haven't bought one yet).
