Microsoft has set 12 March as the release to manufacture date for the six new versions of its server operating system, paving the way for a shipping date of 29 April. The six versions of Windows Server 2003 due to launch in April will be followed by a seventh, called Windows Small Business Server 2003, due late summer, said Mark Tennant, Microsoft's Windows servers product marketing manager, speaking to ZDNet UK. Microsoft's revamp of its server operating system range, which lost the .Net moniker recently following several previous name changes, will form a concerted effort to muscle in on the Unix market.
