Longhorn Server Comes When?

| 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.
