Microsoft Plans Longhorn Client in 2005, Server in 2006

"Microsoft put a stake in the ground at Momentum by restating plans to ship its next major version of the Windows client in 2005 and the next Windows server in 2006 -- but executives left plenty of room for delays.

As part of its long-term product roadmap revealed to partners at its annual channel show on Friday, Paul Flessner, senior vice president of Microsoft's Server Platform Division, recommitted to shipping the next generation Windows client, code-named Longhorn, in 2005.

The Longhorn Windows Server version will follow in 2006, although that could slip by as much as 18 months after the Longhorn client, Flessner said."
