Longhorn becomes Windows Server 2007

SOFTWARE GIANT Microsoft has decided that its experimental server software, which has been working under the codename Longhorn, will be shipped under the name "Windows Server 2007".

A document titled "Hosting and Consuming WCF Services"on Vole's website, which was spotted by Steven Bink, uses the name Windows Server 2007 several times for the next generation server.

According to Arnnet.com, while the name "Windows Server" was never really in dispute, the 2007 tag always was. Some punters had thought that the software would ship so late it would be called Windows Server 2008.

Vole has said that it will not release the official name until it gets around to releasing the beta 3 version of the software. We are currently on Beta two.
