Microsoft has stopped production on the Longhorn variant of Windows servers. Could it just be that M$ is looking out for customers? Or is it that *nix has a tight hold on servers that they need to have 3 more years of development?

The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker has been working on delivering the next major desktop and server versions of Windows--code-named Longhorn--by late 2004. Although the desktop version of Longhorn is still expected within this time frame, a server version is not expected until 2005 or 2006, the company said.
Until Windows XP, the company had been releasing desktop and server versions of its business operating systems around the same time. With the latest change, Microsoft may have to grapple with customer confusion as it works to get its operating system release schedule back on track.
