Following the commercial availability of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office System, Microsoft has revealed that the release activity will continue for the upcoming few months. In this context, Seth Adams Microsoft Program Manager, announced that the Redmond Company now plans to deliver the remaining language versions for the products launched on January 30, 2007. Microsoft as yet failed to confirm any actual dates, and only pointed to "as soon as possible" as a time reference. "So if you haven't seen your favorite language version available yet, rest assured that it's coming soon," Adams promised.

With Windows Vista out of the way, Microsoft will now turn to the server division. "We're also busy looking ahead into what's coming and planning for the next big thing. We're anticipating another Windows Server Longhorn beta in the not too distant future, as well as new updated Windows Server releases and additional CTPs as we get closer to the Visual Studio "Orcas" launch," Adams said.

The Redmond Company has also informed that Windows Vista Enterprise Edition will be accessible to all MSDN Subscribers independent of their subscription. The availability will be announced on the product key page within MSDN Subscriber Downloads.

"For those of you with MSDN Subscriptions purchased outside of our Volume Licensing programs, we understand and appreciate the concern you've had over access to Windows Vista Enterprise Edition to further your development and testing efforts. We're pleased to announce that we will be making Windows Vista Enterprise Edition available to all active MSDN Subscribers (Operating Systems level and above) in the near future," Adams added.
