RTM - Release To Manufacturing AR - Authorized Replicator. A company that actually produces the Microsoft product: makes the physical CD from a master, prints the book, box or other things put in the package. GTM - Go To Market JDP - Joint Development Partner. The major partners doing development and testing on the software. IBM, HP and a few others are JDP's.
Windows Server 2003 Build 3778, built last week and originally intended for Escrow and RTM, did not make it. A small flaw was found and the Microsoft development team together with JDP's decided to give it all a few more days (builds).
Current build to be targeted for Escrow is build 3780, finished this morning.
Since early this year "March 12, 2003" has been the date targeted as "RTM day" for Windows Server 2003, meaning that the code "on hand" that day really is delivered to manufacturing. Last week it was decided to postpone RTM and give the development and test-teams another week. The new RTM date for Windows Server 2003 is March 19, 2003.
This will not delay GTM activities or the official release of the product targeted to be April 24, 2003 when the products will be available in retail and OEM versions. But it will cause minor problems for AR's as the AR's will have one week less to produce the CD media that goes into the finished package.
The final build number of Windows Server 2003 is currently not known, but it might very well be "rounded off" to a higher and nicer looking number. This was the case of Windows XP when quite a few build numbers were "lost" as build 2600 was made.

Ben benieuwd waarom hij uitgesteld is. Zal wel een major security bug zijn.

Well, nothing new. This is just a confirmation: Earlier today Windows 2003 Server build 3790 has been declared as 'Gold, Final, RTM' or whatever the flavor of the week is.
Here's where things start to get confusing, so listen up soldier. Existing builds of 3790 contain documentation and notes that ARE NOT final. Although the code is frozen, the rest of the iso is not. As of around 12:00 noon PST Windows Beta posted that 3790 is the final updated build and is available for download. Things will start happening fairly quickly now.
In the interest of keeping things as simple as possible, please keep your seat in the upright position, all bags should be stowed underneath your seat or in overhead storage. When a finished iso is available we will notify you and a stewardess will be by to take your order. We will be serving a FULL meal on this flight. Expect to see an initial Advanced Server release, shortly followed by the main course of AIO that has the ability to create full stand-alone iso's for all your other Win 2k3 needs.
I would like to congratulate the Windows Server team for an excellent product, that we've seen evolve from an XP clone to a wonderfully stable and secure (so far) server. Thanks for the hard work.

Je hebt zelfs die lame Windows 2000 skin draaien, of is dat standaard al zo?
quote:Origineel van Budha: Da's jammer, zijn er nog andere skins meegeleverd?
Nog niet dat ik weet...het is een enterprise server editie niet te vergeten..
Maar ik zal hem vanaaf op een andere pc installeren enzo...want de crack werkt die ik nu heb Berichten: 3613 | Plaats: Venray | Geregistreerd: Jul 2002
