T2 / 2008, Windows Server, Visual Studio, SQL Server launched

The software giant Microsoft will not be able to ship the Windows Server 2008 operating system before February 2008, despite the promise of "the latest by the end of this year" that the company has launched before.

Under the new schedule, Windows Server 2008 will be officially released in an event held on February 27, 2008 in Los Angeles, which coincides with the official announcement of Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server. 2008.

So once again, Microsoft was late for users, even though it was criticized after repeatedly relocating the release date of Windows Vista and Office 2007 late last year.

In the latest post on the Windows Server blog, the company stated that Windows Server 2008, otherwise known as Longhorn, will still "keep up with the manufacturer" this year.

But even so, users still cannot buy or install this software. Only the server manufacturers and a small tester are trying Longhorn.

The postponement of Windows Server 2008 also raises questions about when Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will be released. Microsoft is constantly repeating that this update and patch package for Vista will be released at the same time. Windows Server 2008, as a result, everyone expected SP1 to be released later this year.

Many businesses even postponed the installation of Windows Vista and Office 2007 to wait for SP1. Therefore, if Microsoft still resolutely launched Server 2008 and SP1 at the same time, the progress that Vista-wide enterprise applications will be even slower.
