The product name Microsoft(R) Windows(R) .NET Server
2003 is being changed, effective January 9, 2003, to "Windows Server 2003." Microsoft is making an effort to clarify the naming and branding strategy for .NET. As support for Web services
becomes intrinsic across our entire product line, we are moving toward a consistent naming and branding strategy to better enable partners to affiliate with this strategy and customers to identify

frame for launch, which is still planned for April 2003.
