New versions of Microsoft's Windows Server, SQL Server, System Center, Visual Studio and Windows Intune are all on tap, arriving largely by the end of calendar 2013.



From All About Microsoft:

Microsoft officials said they plan to release public preview versions of all of these products (except for the next release of Windows Intune) around the time of the Build 2013 conference, which is at the end of June 2013. That's the same time that Microsoft also will be releasing the public preview of Windows client Blue, officially known as Windows 8.1.

The final versions of Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2 and Visual Studio 2013 will be out by the end of calendar 2013, officials confirmed today. SQL Server 2014 will be out shortly after these two products, officials said. If Microsoft syncs up the arrival of its Blue servers with Windows Blue, which is highly likely, many of these products could be released to manufacturing by late summer or early fall 2013.
