What about those Windows 2003 add-ons?
WinNetMag | at | by Mike
Now that Windows 2003 has shipped, users are starting to ask about the many add-ons (or "out-of-band components," as Microsoft calls them) that will arrive in the coming months to give the product more varied functionality. The first add-on, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS--formerly SharePoint Team Services) lets users build collaborative Web sites and will release to manufacturing (RTM) this summer alongside Microsoft Office 2003. A free download, WSS was written entirely in ASP .NET and requires Windows 2003. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server "v2.0," which lets enterprises build intranet portals and stitch together dozens of WSS sites, will ship at the same time, the company tells me. Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 will RTM in late June or early July and will ship later in the summer. Microsoft's (formerly Connectix's) Virtual Server beta should ship any day now, I'm told, with the final release expected late in 2003.
