Rep Power: 172 | |  Microsoft Pushes Partner Ecosystem, Reveals Partial Roadmap
Microsoft will "launch" Windows Server 2008 (formerly code-named Longhorn Server), SQL Server 2008 (code-named Katmai), and Visual Studio 2008 (code-named Orcas) on February 27, 2008, but don't let the date (or the launch event) get in the way of a dirty little secret: Only one of the three products, Windows 2008, will actually become available to the public that day. Of the other two, Visual Studio 2008 will actually ship in final form before the end of 2007, while SQL Server 2008 isn't expected until Q2 2008. So why have a single launch event? Microsoft considers these three products a single product wave, with Visual Studio 2008 being the development environment that targets the platforms provided by Windows 2008 and SQL 2008. I guess I buy that, but the company could have been a bit more open about the tiered-release strategy at the show.
