Microsoft, Others: Longhorn Not Delayed
Several people in and close to Microsoft wrote in to tell me that the Windows .NET Server release dates reported the other day by InfoWorld are incorrect. According to my sources, Microsoft is on track to ship the first release candidate build of Win .NET Server by the end of June, while the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) date is currently set for the end of October. Microsoft still plans to ship Win .NET Server to customers, however, in early 2003.
Office NGO Screenshots Available
Thanks to Steven Bink for forwarding some interesting screenshots of the various Office NGO applications, including a new one called Scribbler that's probably related to the Tablet PC. These shots represent an early alpha release of what will be called Office .NET, and while the correspond nicely to the Office NGO presentation I discuss on the SuperSite for Windows, I've heard that the UI will change significantly from what we see here.
