The Longhorn Browser and RSS technology team offer a peek at what's to come.
Microsoft said on Friday that it is aiming to release Longhorn in the first half of 2006--a move that will require the company to scale back some of its more ambitious plans for the next version of Windows.
Microsoft has released an update to the second beta of its Windows Server "Longhorn" software, offering bug fixes and improvements in performance and reliability.
In recent years, tech enthusiasts have turned to Microsoft's spring hardware conference as a chance to get juicy tidbits on where the software maker was headed with the next version of Windows.
Microsoft on Wednesday said it is releasing its first public test version of Windows Server 'Longhorn' as the company works to get the release out the door.
Microsoft has delayed an update to its current virtualisation software and the beta debut of its next-generation successor code-named Viridian.
Adelaide-based Web hosting company Hostworks is ramping up its investment in server virtualisation after re-signing its biggest customer, NineMSN, for a further three to six years.
Microsoft said on Thursday that it is pulling features out of the initial version of its "Viridian" hypervisor to avoid having to delay the virtualisation technology.
Microsoft is continuing to drip-feed information about its forthcoming Longhorn Server and has implied that beta one code will be made available to testers by August.
Microsoft is investigating a security vulnerability which affects Vista, its newly launched operating system.
The global launch of Windows Vista kicked off in Sydney on Thursday with Microsoft executives promising the massive beta testing program has ensured its new products will contain fewer bugs than before.
After almost a year of testing, the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) admits it could save a 'significant amount' of money by adopting Vista's new management capabilities; but will that recoup the cost of re-training 1.2 million users?
Sun Microsystems announced today the next version of Java will be Longhorn-ready.
Microsoft has tweaked its testing schedule for Windows Vista as it tries to get the operating system update out by the end of 2006.
New security features planned for the Longhorn version of Windows Server will include an automatic patch check and a file system that can fix itself, Microsoft said.
