InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Previews of Microsoft's forthcoming server-stack software reveal a company brooding over improving its security. At the company's Professional Developers Conference next week in Los Angeles, developers will get an in-depth technical review of the next iteration of Windows, Longhorn. Microsoft is expected to focus attention on Longhorn's underlying graphics and Aero, the new user interface.
At the conference, Microsoft will also deliver early beta code of Yukon, its next-generation database; Whidbey, the upcoming version of Visual Studio; and a sneak peek at Indigo, a Web services development framework under construction.
