Microsoft wants to deliver its Windows Server 2003 update, known as "R2," in 2005. To make sure it will be able do so, the company is prioritizing its feature list and moving some R2 features into later releases.
Microsoft officials updated the company's Windows Server roadmap and made the changes public on Monday, in the name of maintaining "transparency" on behalf of customers.
In May, Microsoft officials said to expect R2 to include bug fixes for Windows Server 2003, as well as some of the 12 to 15 Windows Server "feature packs" that the company has rolled out since Windows Server 2003 shipped in April 2003. These feature packs include Active Directory Application Mode, SharePoint Services, Windows Update Services.
