  New 'Whistler' build adds anti-piracy lock
Time: 16:12 EST/21:12 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

With all the hoopla over the release of the final version of the Linux 2.4.0 kernel last week, Microsoft Corp.'s delivery of an interim beta version of its Windows 2000 successor, code-named Whistler, got lost in the shuffle.

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) issued Whistler Thursday, only to pull it off the beta test Web site shortly thereafter, due to installation-key problems. The company subsequently reposted the beta for download by Microsoft's technical beta testers over the weekend, testers said.

Whistler is the first release of Windows in which Microsoft is aiming to deliver a full range of flavors, from a 32-bit personal version to a 64-bit data-center version, all based on a common NT kernel.
