Microsoft made the first release candidate for Windows Server 2003 R2, which is an update release of the Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 operating system, available via download Tuesday. The code for RC0 (release candidate 0) can be downloaded from Microsoft Corp.'s Web site. This is the first release candidate since the product was in beta, and will be followed by RC1, a Microsoft spokesperson told eWEEK. The final Windows Server R2 code is scheduled for release by the end of 2005, and Microsoft officials say it brings improved branch office server solutions, identity and access management and storage management, and better enables application development inside and outside an organization's traditional boundaries.
