Does anyone know when the next verion of Windows server is schedled to be
released?  I'm more concerned about when mainstream support for Windows
Server 2003 R2 will end, but they say that is 2 years after the release of
the next version!

Speaking of Windows 2003 R2, since it was released on 3/5/2006, does that
mean that the old Windows server 2003 will end on 3/5/2008?

Mainstream just means they are no longer making changes to the product
(because all the new changes are going into the new product).  Security
updates ect. continue for 5 more years after mainstream support ends. 

So even if Longhorn released in January, you've still got 7 years!  If
you're company's 7 years behind - get a new job! :-)
