Windows Server 2008, Vista SP1 Hit RC Milestone
Both Windows 2008 and Vista SP1 have been hit hard by delays. Windows 2008, formerly codenamed "Longhorn", has been in development for years, and has had a number of major features altered or completely eliminated; even then, its ship date kept slipping until the Global Launch Wave date was announced. Vista SP1 is a much-anticipated release for Microsoft, as corporations typically wait until the first service pack is released for a product before it's deemed stable enough to roll out on the network. Vista could use a boost, as its sales figures have sagged well below expectations since its release early this year.
The other products scheduled to be announced at the launch event in Los Angeles include SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.
