Microsoft Already Looking Beyond Server 2008
...but of course! We'll be seeing Windows Server 2008 R2 by 2009, according to this piece:
LOS ANGELES--Microsoft said Wednesday that the follow-on to its Windows Server 2008 operating system will be an interim release due to arrive in 2009.
The software maker offered few details on Windows Server 2008 R2, other than to say the interim update will be offered only in a 64-bit version.
"We're thinking about what we'll do next," Windows Server general manager Bill Laing said...
...speaking at the Windows Hardware and Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here. The plan sticks to one laid out by server and tools unit boss Bob Muglia some time ago that calls for the server unit to release a major version of its operating system every four years and a more minor release every two years.
The initial Windows Server 2008 release, due to be finalized late this year, will be offered in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, though Laing said it will be the last server operating system to come in a 32-bit version.
