Windows Vista Server? Surely not…

February 24th, 2007

This could be all the evidence we need, or it could just be some silly intern who decides to jump the gun and presume that nobody will make a big fuss about this because we’re all idiots. Well I’m gonna try and make a fuss about this, as in fact, I am actually an idiot.

In the Windows System Resource Manager service in Windows Server “Longhorn”, the description of the service clearly mentions “Windows Vista Server”. Check the screenshot for yourself, it’s right below. We were all expecting Windows Server 2007, or as VistaBase has decided to prematurely jump the gun and call it Windows Server 2008, I don’t think anyone is none the wiser after this posting anyway.

    Nice find there, although Microsoft often add code names to products, which have to be updated. Still, I think the name does sound better than Windows Server 2008 :).

    Hmm, I believe the name is just going to be Microsoft® Windows Vista Server System 2008 :P

    I hope not - that’s a shite name for a server OS. I hope they stick with Windows Server 2008 - sleek, sassy but simple, and professional (H)
