Next major release is far, far away (even by Microsoft's optimistic
projections, if previous attempts to freeze the market with vapourware are
anything to go by).

Longhorn Server Comes When?
,----[ Quote ]
| But there are increasing signs Microsoft won't make its date.
|
| Windows Vista is good example of how the process works. Microsoft
| makes subtle announcements that point to eventual delay.Then the
| bomb drops. In November 2005, Microsoft canceled its scheduled
| Vista CTP (Community Technology Preview) and stopped talking
| about Beta 2 as, well, Beta 2. Microsoft's excuse: The Vista
| development team had received so much feedback, Microsoft had
| to throttle back test builds. Huh? Four months later, Microsoft
| said that Vista would miss holiday 2006.

Will Windows Home Server be Microsoft’s next flop?
,----[ Quote ]
| If you buy-off on the theory that the world seems to be heading in the
| opposite direction that Microsoft wants to lead it, then you can’t help but
| wonder what the long term prospects for an offering like Windows Home Server
| are. Not good, if you ask me.
