Will we have a Data Center Edition of Vista in the near future? Just as we
have a Data Center Edition of Windows 2003 R2 Data Center Edition?


Thanks

Louis

No, Vista is a client operating system, there will be Datacenter Edition of
Longhorn Server for AMD x86-x64, EM64T and Itanium systems.

Hello Louis,
Data Center is a Server Sku.
Vista is a client release, so no there will not be a Windows Vista
DataCenter sku
I am not sure that the list of editions for Windows Server Longhorn is
available yet.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

As others have posted, Vista is a client OS and as such will not come in any
server variants. Windows Server Longhorn (or whatever it will ultimately be
called when it is released) will probably come in at least the same SKUs
that exist with Server 2003, although it's highly likely that you will not
see an ia64 (Itanium) version of Longhorn. Note that Windows Server 2003
SP1 shipped for ia64, but Windows Server 2003 did not (hint, hint).

I believe it has been announced that there *will* be an Itanium version of
Longhorn Server.

Windows 2003 -> Server OS
Vista -> successor of Windowsxp -> desktop OS

Apples and oranges.

There won't be a "Data Center Edition" of Vista as there never was a
"Data Center Edition" of Windowsxp. There probably will a "Data Center
Edition" of Longhorn Server as there is a "Data Center Edition" of
Windows Server 2003...

you are incorrect.

I manage several midrange and superdome implimentations, and when we
launched these platforms they had RTM versions of Enterprise and Datacenter
installed on them by the vendor, HP.

Hm, I guess that's what I get for being buried in beta. Looks like Longhorn
will ship for itanium (there was some doubt about that internally), but it
will be limited to certain types of functionality. Interesting indeed.
