Windows .NET Server Release Dates

[Citadel535]

Anyone know the schedule?

Supposedly Q1 of this year. I say some time around July is more realistic.

Does anybody have any technical specs of what this will include?

Thanks,

I'm aware of some stuff but I'm yet to try it out myself.

What does that mean?

I was told quite a few new cool features but do not want to comment on them because:
1) I'm not sure if it's meant to be released to the public.
2) I haven't tried Windows .NET myself so I could be posting misleading information.

If you didn't sign a NDA, then you're free to talk about what you've seen.

True.

Some stuff I'm aware of:
- Application partitions: creation of virtual development environments that resemble similar features in mainframes
- Must add a "reason" for shutdown of the server
- I believe that there is also an improved version of the Active Directory
- IIS 6.0: There is an article in the MSDN magazine if you are interested in improvements to IIS 6.0
- The .NET Framework will likely be integrated into the OS

I think that's about all I know for now. I want to try out beta 3 but I'm so out of time these days.
