+Yesterday Microsoft [released the first public beta][2] of its next generation server software, currently code-named Longhorn. Release dates for the final version haven't been set yet and may not happen until next year, but the new beta is a feature complete release and [available now for testing purposes][2].
+
+The new Windows Server shares a common code base with Vista, but adds additional server related features.
+
+Microsoft says Beta 3 (betas 1 and 2 were private releases) features improved security over previous shipping version of Windows Server. Among improvements are a new compartmentalized approach which allows companies to only install the elements they need -- reducing the available options for attackers to exploit.
+
+Other new features include Network Access Protection, which makes sure that client machines comply with security policies and other requirements before they are allowed on a network.
+
+Microsoft is hoping for widespread testing efforts to begin with yesterday's release and says  it will use tester feedback to fix bugs and make improvements.
