Microsoft on Tuesday reached another milestone of sorts for its next Windows Server upgrade, code-named R2.
The Redmond, Wash.-based company unveiled Release Candidate Zero (RC0) of Windows Server 2003 R2. Typically, Microsoft begins the final testing cycle with Release Candidate 1, but this time it opted to begin with a zero. RC0 can be accesssed at www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/r2.
Microsoft said it plans to ship the upgrade by the end of 2005. It would represent the first major release of Windows Server 2003 since the product shipped in April 2003.
Windows Server 2003 R2 will be available in three editions: Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter, Microsoft said.
Built atop the recently released Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, the R2 release offers many new capabilities, including support for all x64 processors, branch-office enhancements such as centralized file replication and printer management technology, built-in Unix interoperability and Active Directory Federation Services.
