Since late last year, the company has said there would be a server version, but until now has said little about what it would contain. The new timetable Microsoft's attempt to clarify its plans for corporate buyers. "Our expectation is that we will ship Longhorn Server in 2007," Muglia said.
Muglia also said Microsoft has slated both a service pack and an update for Longhorn. "We are thinking about an update release to Longhorn that will come in the 2009 time frame; 2008 will probably be the service pack, 2009 will be the update release."
