Microsoft on Tuesday made broadly available a beta version of its Windows Server 2003 for systems using the Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) 64-bit Opteron processor. The beta version of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems had been available to a small group of testers in a "technical beta" since October but is now available for anyone interested in trying it out through a customer preview program, said John Borozan, a product manager at Microsoft.
Microsoft expects tens of thousands of users to download the beta of the server software, which is unchanged since the release of the technical beta, Borozan said. Several hundred testers participated in the technical beta, he said.
