Server 2008 Roadmap Released -- So, when's it Coming?

Michael Domingo over at Redmond Magazine published this article late last week coming out of WinHEC. He told me before leaving that he was going to get a sit-down meeting with the guys on the Windows Server team. So I suspect this is the first of a few pieces he'll be releasing with some juicy tidbits on the new server platform.

According to his article, the release dates for Server 2008, Server Home Edition, and Server 2008 R2 are...

2007: Windows Home Server gets a fall release; Windows Server 2008 is expected to have a release candidate prior to getting released to manufacturing in late November or December.

2008: Windows Server 2008 will be generally available in January. Windows Server codename "Cougar", aka Windows Small Business Server 2008, follows Windows Server 2008. Windows Server codename "Centro," the much-anticipated medium-sized version, is expected around or just after Cougar. Windows Server 2008 Storage Server, the storage and file server primarily targeted at SMBs, debuts sometime after Cougar and Centro.

2009: Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is planned for release.
