Windows Server 2003 Is A Small Step Forward

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tide-turn-or-whistling-crickets dept.

b17bmbr writes "According to eWeek, 'The release of Windows Server 2003 is a small step forward for the platform -- an effort that really should be considered Windows 2000 Server Second Edition. With the exception of Internet Information Services 6.0, there aren't any far-reaching or fundamental changes in the product.' And from CNet Microsoft prepares Windows Server ads, 'The ads are geared toward IT managers on tight budgets.' This is probably Microsoft's last chance to turn the tide and take mindset and market share from FOSS."

    Linux is for cheapskates

    I.e., Microsoft's market. Microsoft on the high end? Please.

    They're being squeezed from the top and bottom, and they'll soon resort to defending their market share in court. Microsoft's never been about better software -- just dominance.

    Can't wait to get my hands on this one. I have been watching the Shockwave movies on Microsoft site. This is a bigger step forward than most people on here will have you believe.
