Microsoft on Wednesday gave developers access to a key piece of Windows Vista, months ahead of the operating system's release.
Microsoft has released an update to the second beta of its Windows Server "Longhorn" software, offering bug fixes and improvements in performance and reliability.
At its developer conference in San Francisco on Monday, Apple announced that the next version of Mac OS X will not be ready till the first half of 2007.
The launch of Windows Vista has created a huge opportunity for Linux vendors to take a larger share of the corporate desktop market, according to the president of Linux Australia.
Although Microsoft is hard at work trying to ship Windows Vista this year, the company is beginning to set its sights on the next horizon, Vienna.

Windows Vista delivers some pretty snazzy new graphics, but all that "wow" can be a real drain.
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.

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.
