Microsoft is putting the pedal to the metal to get client and server software development in synch. But even better, the Redmond-based software vendor is finally sharing its server development roadmap with the rest of the world.
Microsoft told analysts in a conference call Friday that it will move to a two-year release cycle, with major releases and updates alternating. In other words, any major release, such as Longhorn, will be followed in two years by an update release, which in turn will be followed in two years by the next major release.
