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 said on Wednesday that the follow-on to its Windows Server 2008 operating system will be an interim release due to arrive in 2009.
Microsoft has delayed an update to its current virtualisation software and the beta debut of its next-generation successor code-named Viridian.
Microsoft, faced with virtualisation competition and customer demands, is working to bring some technologies to market sooner than it earlier had said.
Microsoft has delayed until early 2007 an update for Microsoft Virtual Server, a technology that lets a computer run multiple incarnations of Windows simultaneously.
