Microsoft aims to accelerate corporate use of its digital rights management (DRM) software by integrating it, along with new extranet features, into its Windows Server 2003 update planned for 2005, which is code-named R2.
In an hourlong interview with CRN on Wednesday, Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows Server Division, said the Redmond, Wash., company will incorporate Windows Rights Managements Services (RMS) and new identity-federation capabilities into R2. Windows RMS is now available as a separate add-on to Windows Server 2003.
