Update: Windows Vista Beta 1, Server will not be "Vista"
Joe Wilcox writes in the Microsoft Monitor Blog:
I double checked with Microsoft PR and the name is Windows Vista, not WindowsVista as it appeared to me in the video. Also, I'm free to reveal that the first Windows Vista beta is scheduled to release on Aug. 3.Update: Nate Mook writes in BetaNews:
I don't expect anything spectacular from the first beta, nor should anyone else. Microsoft will distribute Windows Vista Beta 1 to a limited number of testers, and the software will by no means be feature complete. That's not exactly surprising this far from the expected, late 2006 ship date. Right now, Microsoft is testing the guts, so to speak, working to make sure the fundamental architecture and "deep" features work as expected. The approach makes sense.
Microsoft on Friday told BetaNews it had no plans to use the "Vista" moniker for its next generation Windows Server product line, despite choosing the name for its Longhorn client. For now, Microsoft will continue using Longhorn Server for a Beta 1 release, which is due in the coming weeks.
"While we are not announcing the name for Longhorn Server at this time, we can tell you that the current plan is to follow the existing naming convention of Windows Server 2003," a Microsoft spokesperson told BetaNews. Windows Vista was announced Friday, alongside a video promoting the name.
