With the launch of Vista coming over the next few months, Microsoft has had little opportunity to talk about anything else. But the software giant is developing new products in a range of other areas, from Exchange 2007 to virtualization to managed services.
ZDNet UK grabbed some time with Muglia at November's TechEd IT Forum, to hear why Microsoft has begun announcing 64-bit only versions of its software and about its plans for managed services, virtualization and other matters.
Muglia:Looking into the future, we will ship Longhorn (the next version of Windows Server) in the second half of next year, and we will ship a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. That will be the last time we ship a 32-bit version. From that point, the next release, which will be roughly two years later, that product will only be available as 64-bit.
