Microsoft has ambitious plans for its Windows Server business during its 2004 fiscal year, including the launch this fall of one version of Windows Small Business Server 2003 for less than $1,000 and enhancements for Windows Server 2003.
The company confirmed it would ship two versions of Windows Small Business Server 2003: one entry-level version with basic file, print, e-mail, portal and remote-access service; and a more full-featured version with SQL and the company's firewall solution included.
On the high end of the spectrum, Microsoft is also working on enhancements to its Windows Server for large customers and a next-generation "Longhorn" server expected in 2006.
