Sharing with everyone yesterday's official announcement (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/) of 'Windows Server 2008' being the name of Microsoft's next generation server platform.

The Windows Server 2008 product information Web site is now online here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/default.mspx).

And also for IIS7 a Go Live license (http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=79) is now available with Beta 3 of Windows Server 2008 that allows you to put Windows2008/IIS7 into testing/production so that you can begin preparing your hosting services for next year when the product becomes generally available. Become a featured IIS7 Beta Hoster (http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=7&subtabid=791).

I've got the Longhorn beta, can't get it to connect to the network for some reason.

We are launching IIS 7 beta, hope to give more feedback on this soon :)

Good news,I will ask somebody to try it.

I will wait for your response people, because I am not in favour for testing beta version on a live machine :). And by testing on a test machine maybe don't get the desire result.

thanks, downloading now, testbox standing by

We too have started testing on w2k8 and IIS 7. Will keep you posted.

Cheers
Hugh
