The Importance of Being Windows Server 2008
 Joe Wilcox
Podcast. Bill Laing, general manager of Microsoft's Windows Server division, discusses the company's Windows Server 2008 strategy in this week's podcast. |
I recorded the podcast at the Heroes Happen {here} launch event two weeks ago. Laing talked about Windows Server product strategy, marketing and the new "Essential" family of server products.
Laing was a real trooper, as I used seemingly unsophisticated equipment: A Nokia N95 cell phone and Sony noise-canceling microphone. He wasn't the only person surprised by the gear.

Now for the big story;
Anti-trust committee checks out Windows 7
channelregister.co.uk/2008/03/11/microsoft_windows_7_vista_capable/
Quotes; "The committee said it was now examining Windows 7 (code-named Blackcomb then Vienna) to see if the company has complied with the original settlement, which required that Microsoft make its products interoperable with those created by its competitors.
Microsoft has chalked 2010 as the year customers can expect Windows 7 to be released. But rumours have recently surfaced that suggest the firm, in the face of fierce criticism of the much-unloved Vista, could be planning to parachute the OS in as early as the second half of next year."
