Microsoft delays supercomputer version of Windows
Microsoft said late Tuesday that it has pushed back the expected launch of a version of Windows designed for high-performance computer clusters.
A Microsoft programmer said last month that the company was aiming to have Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition ready in time for a launch at the SC2005 supercomputing conference in November, with a beta or test version coming this summer. However, Microsoft said Tuesday that the launch will be delayed as the company responds to early customer reactions.
"To ensure this feedback is incorporated, Microsoft is now planning to deliver the first beta to customers in the second half of 2005 and the final release is scheduled for first half 2006," a Microsoft representative said in an e-mail.
