Microsoft Talks About Windows Server 2003 SP1

摘要

In response to every survey I field for my Hey Microsoft! column, readers always ask Microsoft to address security and to provide a roadmap for products. With the release of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the company is tackling both concerns. SP1 is positioned as the Windows Server security release similar to Windows XP SP2. And coinciding with SP1, Microsoft is taking the opportunity to mark out a path of predictable releases every 2 years. I talked with Microsoft's Clyde Rodriguez (group program manager and the project manager responsible for the SP1 and 64-bit Windows releases); Samm DiSta-sio (director of marketing, Windows Server Division); and Jeff Price (senior director of marketing, Windows Server Division) about SP1, how SP1 fits in with the new roadmap and the impending Windows 2003 Release 2 (R2), SP1 features and fixes, and the role of customer feedback.
