Next Microsoft Server OS

[vee_ess]

Sorry, but you are wrong Chef...You must be following popular information...I have Whistler Beta 1 and Whistler Beta 2. For that, you have to install Platform SDK as part of the install (very hard one i might add, but any way back to topic). This is the Windows 2000 Platform virtually unchanged in many everyday aspects, but more advanced in web server operations and XML features. It is the basis of .NET. Hopefully, at this point you know what I am talking about. Windows XP has most of the networking options that 2000 has (although, Home Edition leaves out some of the big server type stuff), just it is not upfront like 2000 is because it is not only for the business market. It is also marketed for the home market (both Home Edition and Professional Edition). Windows XP doesn't have a simplified NT kernel. It is far, far more advanced and somewhat more advanced that Windows 2000. Start tweakin the kernel and you will see what I am talking about. Play with the services. It actually is based on the Windows 2000 kernel, and that is why it is only slightly more advanced. And I just want to emphasize this point: the server OS that will be coming out will not be based on XP (read what I said again), but it will be based off the same platform. You might want to be precautious of spreading mis-information like this on binarica.com.

If you want me to burn you a copy of the Whistler Beta 2 cd I can, so you are able to get the facts not the fables...
