With Windows Vista, Microsoft had to cut features to try to get the release out the door. With its upcoming server release, though, Microsoft is actually adding a few features.
Microsoft has decided to initially use technology from its WinFS project in the SQL Server database, rather than directly in its Windows operating system.
The next version of Windows finally has an official name: Windows Vista.
Microsoft is readying two tools to help hardware makers create more stable and secure Windows drivers, which should help reduce the number of crashes.
Microsoft on Wednesday gave developers access to a key piece of Windows Vista, months ahead of the operating system's release.

Microsoft's chairman discusses his favourite Vista feature, why he'll keep pushing for a new file system and open source's role.
Microsoft is at the start of "the greatest innovation pipeline we have ever had," CEO says. And no, he doesn't throw chairs.
When Microsoft releases its SQL Server 2005 database on Nov. 7, it will have been five years since the last version debuted. If Windows Vista arrives as scheduled next fall, it too will follow its predecessor by five years.
