For the first time in recent memory, Microsoft has chosen to stick with its code name for a final Windows release.
In a posting on the newly launched Windows 7 blog, Microsoft has announced that details on the forthcoming product will be made available at the Professional Developers Conference in October.
Although businesses will have the option to install only certain pieces of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft isn't likely to sell the operation system in a piecemeal fashion.
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.
Software in the future will not run exclusively from services on the Internet -- despite all the talk -- according to Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer.

Microsoft is expanding its involvement in the rewritable DVD market, announcing that future versions of Windows will support all major formats.
Microsoft plans to retool its Windows XP operating system so that two people can run applications on the same machine concurrently, an important step toward the company's goal of transforming the PC into a home entertainment centre.
Longhorn, the next major version of Windows for desktop PCs, will debut in 2005 and will usher in a new level of graphics for PCs, according to Microsoft executives.
