Last week (while I was too busy watching playoff hockey to post), Microsoft announced that the Beta 3 version of Windows Server “Longhorn” complete with the brand spankin’ new IIS 7.0 would be offered with a “Go-Live” license. This means that the new version can legally be deployed in a production environment prior to the RTM launch of Longhorn.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Go-Live license, but it is welcome news. This typically means that Microsoft now has a feature-complete and virtually bug-free (never completely bug-free) release of the product.
From what I read over on Scott Guthrie’s blog, one of the new features will provide enhanced support for other platform technologies (FastCGI support) which will improve the experience for those running Perl or PHP. Gee… I wonder if this would fix my IIS 6 MediaWiki woes…
