Longhorn enters beta public tests
MICROSOFT has released its next-generation Windows Server software for public testing and said the product is on track for a debut in the second half of 2007.
The world's largest software maker said it expects hundreds of thousands of information technology workers to download the test, or "Beta 3," version of the next server operating system code-named ?Longhorn?.
Longhorn, which will replace Microsoft?s server current server operating system Windows Server 2003, is the compliment to its new Windows Vista PC operating system.
Both operating systems share many of the same improvements such as better security.
