Microsoft confirmed to internetnews.com that it will deliver the beta 1 version of Longhorn Server on August 3, along with the beta 1 release Internet Explorer 7. They'll be available along with the beta 1 version of Windows Vista, the next-generation Windows client formerly known as Longhorn, which Microsoft announced Friday morning. The server beta, with a still-to-be-determined moniker, will contain the core operating system foundation and APIs for Longhorn Server. The private beta will be offered to hardware manufacturers, OEMs, IHVs, system builders, ISVs and developers. The build will let them test and plan their own products to work on top of the next-generation server, a Microsoft spokeswoman said.
