Internet Explorer is to get a makeover with the arrival of IE 7, including a revised logo and name.
Microsoft on Wednesday laid out its server road map, outlining a series of releases including Longhorn Server, the next major OS edition, targeted to arrive in 2007.
A more advanced test version of Windows XP's successor has leaked onto the Web, and analysts say it indicates that Microsoft has stepped up work to deliver the new operating system.
Microsoft is showing some early signs of success with a version of Windows geared for a technical computing market that Linux dominates today.
Microsoft on Wednesday gave developers access to a key piece of Windows Vista, months ahead of the operating system's release.
COMMENTARY -- Longhorn will be immensely popular once it is released, because Longhorn is revolutionary technology that makes desktop computing better.
After months of keeping its prized cow in the barn, Microsoft is beginning to let Longhorn out of the stall for public viewing.
As Microsoft focuses on merging its Web browser and operating system software, open-source competitors are mulling a proposal to join forces and beat the software giant to the punch.
After five years without a major update to Windows, Microsoft will find plenty of willing buyers for Longhorn next year. Or will it?
Companies' new operating systems -- Tiger and Longhorn -- bear a resemblance. But just who copied whom?
News analysis: Following its recent settlement with AOL, Microsoft has let slip that it will stop making Internet Explorer as a standalone product. But what does this mean for users?
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Our reviewer gives you first impressions and expert guidance.
Microsoft has more to do on its new operating system, but this first beta suggests that Windows Vista could be up to par with Linux and Apple Mac OS X.
