Michael writes: Shortly after announcing that they will rename Palladium to “next-generation secure computing base“, Microsoft announced today that it will change the name of the upcoming Windows Server 2003 to “next generation server operating system”.
The Windows name has been tarnished by controversy surrounding Microsoft’s legal battles as well as growing privacy concerns. “This new name will give next generation server operating system the fresh start it needs to get ahead,” said a Microsoft spokesperson. “We previously tried just dropping .NET from the name, but that wasn’t enough.”
Microsoft next generation server operating system, previously known as Windows Server 2003, previously known as Windows .NET Server 2003, previously known as Windows .NET Server, previously known as Windows Server 2002, previously known as Whistler, will be released in April.
