In keeping with the recent tradition for less than interesting names for
their server OS products, it looks like the next version of Windows Server will
drop the long-used codename "Longhorn" and merely pick up a year designation
when it goes RTM. Windows Server 2007 joins the line of server products
starting with Windows Server 2000 and more recently updated with Windows Server
2003.
While pretty boring and unoriginal, I'm sure it won't get quite the media
razzing the consumer line names have in recent year (remember the snickering
over the whole XP 'eXPerience' marketing push?).
