Microsoft confirmed Wednesday that it will deliver the high performance computing version of Windows Server 2003 that the company has been hinting at for several months. Windows Server 2003, HPC Edition, is expected to ship in the second half of 2005. With so much time before the delivery deadline, pricing and packaging decisions are far from final.

"The Windows Server 2003, HPC Edition will offer customers a Windows-based solution with a single simplified environment for developing HPC applications, deploying and managing HPC clusters," a Microsoft spokesperson said.
