Windows 2000 Beta 3 On Schedule (12/05/98, 1:21 p.m. ET) By Stuart Glascock, Computer Reseller News Microsoft still plans to release Beta 3 of Windows 2000, formerly known as Windows NT 5.0, during the first quarter of 1999, a Microsoft spokesperson said Thursday after BetaNews.com told its developer-intensive audience to expect the long-awaited beta in February. Beta 3 promises to be a major sign of progress for the long-delayed operating system. Microsoft released Beta 2 on Aug. 19 when the operating system was still called Windows NT 5.0 Server, Windows NT 5.0 Server Enterprise Edition, and Windows NT Workstation 5.0. An interim release was distributed to beta testers at a Professional Developers Conference in Denver on Oct. 15. On Oct. 27, Microsoft renamed the product line. Windows NT Workstation and Server became Windows 2000 Professional and Server, respectively. Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition became Windows 2000 Advanced Server. A new, 64-bit version called Windows 2000 Datacenter is expected to be available within 60 days after Windows 2000 ships. At the time of the name change, Microsoft officials said they planned to ship Beta 3 in the first quarter and the finished product in 1999.
