7 Comments
Microsoft has shipped the second release candidate of Windows Sever 2003 R2, the interim server update due before the end of the year. RC1, which follows August's RC0 release, doesn't add any new features, but incorporates a number of bug fixes as Microsoft prepares for a release to manufacturing.
Rooted in Windows Server 2003 SP1, R2 delivers many enhancements and several new components, while leaving the core of the operating system unchanged to facilitate faster development. A 180-day trial of Windows Sever 2003 R2 RC1 is now available for download in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
