Hi,
for those of you that don’t know me, I’m Tina Couch and I’m the newest
member to the Windows Server team. I wanted to share that today
we made available
the Windows Server 2008 release candidate one (RC1) for customers to
download and evaluate. We’re encouraging customers to download the
evaluation code here.
(For what’s new in RC1 – scroll down.) So far, more than 1.8 million
customers have checked out Windows Server 2008 evaluation code - WOW.
RC1 is a significant milestone in the development of Windows Server
2008, and is one of the last opportunities for customers and partners
to evaluate and provide feedback before our release to manufacturing
(RTM), which will happen by the time of our February 27 Heroes Happen Here
launch event in Los Angeles. The launch features Windows Server
2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 and the theme is focused
on celebrating the incredible work that IT Professionals &
Developers do to deliver heroic results to their organizations,
colleagues and customers.
