.NET Server Slips Again, to Mid-2003

WinInfo | at | by Mike

According to a report in InfoWorld, Microsoft has delayed the release of Windows .NET Server, the server family of products that was to have accompanied Windows XP, until mid-2003. The delay is just the latest of several for the product, which was to have originally shipped before the end of 2001. The release has been a moving target: Microsoft has said, at various times, that Windows .NET Server would ship in early 2002, during the first half of 2002, in the second half of 2002, and, most recently at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), in early 2003. This latest delay also further complicates the schedule for Longhorn, the next Windows version, which will include desktop and server versions.
