Longhorn Server Beta 1 to be Released August

By

Microsoft is continuing to drop new clues about what users can expect in Longhorn Server, the version of its Windows Server product slated to ship in 2007, and beyond. Pretty interesting info coming from the folks over at Microsoft.

Muglia reconfirmed that Longhorn Server Beta 1 will ship this summer, around the same time as Longhorn client Beta 1. And based on a comment from one of the Microsoft chat moderators, it sounds as if the current plan is to have code in testers’ hands by August.

The moderator told participants to “please join us in the first part of August for a chat about Longhorn Server Beta 1.”

Muglia also raised the possibility that Microsoft could deliver, at some point in time, a home SKU of Windows Server. When asked by a chat participant whether Microsoft might introduce such a SKU, given the proliferation of media content and multiple machines in homes, Muglia hinted that such a SKU might be in the works.
