WinInfo | at | by Mike
With the release of Windows .NET Server Release Candidate 1 (RC1) finally complete, Microsoft unexpectedly announced yesterday that the milestone build would be made available for free to customers through the Win.NET Server Customer Preview Program (CPP). Under terms of the CPP, customers can download or order CD versions of Win.NET Server Enterprise Edition RC1, which will expire 360 days after installation. Additionally, customers that choose the download option can access Win.NET Standard Server.
"This product is rock-solid," says Jim Allchin, group vice president of the Platforms Group at Microsoft. "We're delivering the features and improvements that our IT and developer audiences have told us they want most: improved security, greater reliability and better performance. Windows .NET Server is far easier to deploy, manage and operate, and it includes a comprehensive set of Web application services that make it easy to build powerful, connected solutions quickly. This is the most customer-driven release of Windows Server ever."
