WinHEC 2007: Windows "Longhorn" Server becomes Windows Server 2008
Today at WinHEC 2007 in Los Angeles, Bill Gates announced the final name for what was previously known only as Windows Server codename "Longhorn." Windows Server 2008, which recently reached the Beta 3 milestone, is expected to ship before the end of the year. Here's video of the announcement from WinHEC earlier today:

You can download the Windows Server 2008 fact sheet from Microsoft PressPass and visit the newly branded Windows Server 2008 website for details. Also, check out the amusing "What’s in a name?" video too. (No, that's not exactly how our naming process usually works).
Senior Product Manager Ian Hameroff has also posted about the Windows Server 2008 announcement on the Windows Server Blog. Ian also demoed some of Windows Server 2008's new features earlier today during the WinHEC keynote.
