Microsoft did, as expected, release Windows Server 2003 to manufacturing on Friday, paving the way for its April 24 launch of the product. The company announced that it has released the 64-bit 2003 version of its Windows XP product to manufacturing, as well.
But during a phone call with press and analysts to announce the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) milestone, company officials declined to clarify further how and when add-ons to the base product - not to mention follow-on Windows versions - will roll out.

The software giant released its pricing sheet for the new server, which comes in four editions and is slated to ship April 24. The prices are list prices and serve only as a foundation to calculate what enterprises under volume licensing deals will pay. Larger volume licensing customers can expect a reduction by upwards of 40 percent or more based on Microsoft's new Licensing 6.0 program, which began last year.

Microsoft Corp. is ratcheting up its efforts to ensure that independent software vendors, partners, system integrators and component vendors address potential application compatibility issues with the upcoming Windows .Net Server 2003 family before it is released next April.
Application compatibility is often a thorny area when new products are released, and Microsoft is trying to limit, as far as possible, any negative user experiences with .Net Server.

Microsoft on Thursday is expected to issue the second release candidate for Windows .Net Server 2003, as the product slowly advances toward its scheduled April release date.
The near-final testing version of the software comes days after Microsoft revised licensing for the product. Starting with Windows .Net Server 2003, customers will have two options for obtaining client-access licenses, or CALs. Under the new plan, businesses will be able to obtain CALs on a per-user or per-machine basis.

The stance was laid out at Microsoft's IT Forum event in Copenhagen on Thursday by Microsoft's Windows chief.

Microsoft is putting the finishing touches on the second release candidate, or near-final testing version, of Windows .Net Server 2003, sources said.

The tweaking of the name is another sign that the twice-delayed .Net Server will not reach the majority of customers before early 2003, analysts say. In October 2000, Microsoft said the product would ship in the second half of 2001. In April 2001, Microsoft pushed back delivery of the product, which is an essential component of the company's .Net Web services strategy, to early 2002. In March, the software giant again delayed delivery until the second half of 2002.

Thanks Christian for this one:
Microsoft changed the name of the family of server operating systems it plans to release next year to Windows .NET Server 2003, company representatives said late Thursday.
The new name is the fourth for the family of server operating systems. Its code-name was "Whistler," a name it shared with pre-release versions of the Windows XP client operating system that shipped in October. It was briefly known as Windows 2002 in the spring of 2001.

It must really hurt developers at Microsoft to design IIS6 the way they've been designing it.
It's been basic Microsoft philosophy forever to make products as available, as scriptable, and as powerful as possible. Things have changed. After two years of assaults from security consultants and Internet vandals, Microsoft has decided that discretion--when it comes to an Internet service--is the better part of valor. Now they have to sit and think of ways to prevent users from accessing features.
