Over the past two years, Windows has become the leading operating system for enterprise servers worldwide. Windows 2000 has delivered consistently high value at low cost -- a combination that is always welcome, but especially critical during an economic slowdown. As the Internet rapidly changes the way companies do business, Web services are becoming increasingly important as companies look for new ways to harness the power and potential of the Web. Microsoft recently launched Visual Studio .NET, a set of tools for developing Web services and Web applications, and Windows .NET Server will soon join it in the marketplace.
As corporate vice president of the Windows Server Group, Bill Veghte oversees the development and marketing of the Microsoft Windows server operating systems. PressPass spoke with Veghte before this week's NetWorld+Interop (N+I 2002) conference in Las Vegas to get his perspective on the future of the Windows platform as a fundamental component of enterprise computing.
