ya seeing it on shelves is about all we will get to see cause its too dang expensive lol Anyways i hope the team got some nice pictures

WHY WAIT?

haha I think I have seen a cd likeee that one before

I really like 2003, and think it will have great sales

yeah me too, i think i will have great sales too!

how will u have great sales unmoved lol

Well, Some stores AND online stores have stocked the shelves with Windows Server 2003 and I couldent believe it when I saw it but here have a look for your self at the price



Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Enterprise EditionCD 25 CLT



Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (1 Server & 5-Clients)
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (1 Server & 10-Clients)

I wonder what the 25 means unless it cost that high if it had 25 licenses and I have no idea what clt means, but anyways theres the price Anybody gonna buy it?

i dont think i will be purchasing it
but i did just get a new lite-on 52x burner in the mail from newegg.com and a 100 @ 52x cd-r spindle...
sales are soaring, ha ha

wait until October/November, I heard that's when MS will release a small bussiness Edition of windows 2003 I'm sure it'll be cheaper the those enterprise stuff.

Are you NUTS At that price MS can keep it

uhhhh betaguy....what the hell is this??

lol

I just got back from the launch event in Raleigh, NC. Couldn't stay the entire 9-5:30 everything was going to slow. But......... everyone got free versions of Server 2k3, and Visual Studio .net pro dvd... trial versions.... but I'm sure people out there know how to turn these into full versions without me mentioning also got the free t-shirt, some mdsn merchandise, voucher for .....yes $900.00 off a msdn subscription. Windows xp tablet pc Development cd, Office 2k3 Preview cd, and alot more cool shite. Lots of prizes being given out, ex.. LCD monitors, Technet subscriptions, Video processors..... it was a nice little experience from ol m$. I should have some pics later after I get back from work.

Just got back from the launch event. Saw my buddy Kelps over there,..I left early so i think Kelps is still over there. Got my goodies bag with all the kewl stuff that mm_omega2 mentiioned, except I didnt get no T-shirt . A couple of Companies were there showing there support for the new SQL 64 and Server 2003. Intel and AMD were amongts the top players there. AMD was showing off this really nice opteron server. I regret forgetting to take my camera so I couldnt take any snapshots, but i think Kelps got some in. Kelps, sorry I had to leave so early, it's that I had to run some errands at home and I didn't think I was gonna get there so late.

I wanted to go to one damnit lol, hey I hope somebody remembered to get a baggie for me too with all that free stuff

I will NOT buy it. Why when we have it free? LOL. And i don't use it.

Installed Windows 2k3 now and am running it as I post. Seems to load very fast, faster than XP, the pregrams load very fast. Get this security feature from IE which is more annoying than actually protective in MPO....Even msn.com brings up this security warning.

yeah I'm running 2003 also, its very nice (actually I'm on a XP machine right now, my server is rebooting) so yeah..it IS fast, and nice..but seriously someone should have grabbed me a "party bag" lol I want one...
I wanna go to the next release Longhorn Release anyone?

ps Kelps and G live by each other? you guys get together outside of M$ party's?

Im pretty sure you could make XP that fast by removing all visual effects. 2003 comes with all but "USe Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons" enabled.

kick a$$ just found that we are having one April 1st here in LR and im going ..will bring pictures

April or May 1st??

Lil late aren't you? lol!

Hi all! Just got back from the train station! Had fun at the 2003 server release party, got some nice goodies! Got to meet my friend Gsurface! Dont worry G, i understand how it is!

Hey, i didn't get a shirt either!

I want a goodie bag and also thats very nice to hear that 2003 is doing great for you G I gotta get me the evaulation kit which is being sent here

Even got a Windows 2003 Server pen, and a Windows 2003 Server notepad! As well as the entry badge that i will keep as a momento!

Nooooooooooo, I want a baggie bad

i hope you guys took some pictures from there

Yea, I took a few, just have to have em developed.

@G cant u make that warning go away by setting ur internet options>security to lower settings like xp....ie. left to right...medium>med. low>low>high?

I think you may be able to set it lower, but then that just makes browsing unsecure...and by default, the IE settings in 2003 are the same as XP's.

i went, got the baggie and s***.. i also won a MSDN sub. AND an LCD!! damn, all this for free!!

btw, i was in Atlanta!

the launch date for atlanta isnt until the 7th of may......and a msdn subscription wasnt one of the prizes.....

Event city, state........date..........# of LCD'S....# of nextvision5's..# of mini libraries..# of Technet subscriptions
Atlanta, GA.............05/07/03............8......................1 .......................1 of each ..........................4

Move you IE security setting up, that will take care of your prob.

Like mine Windows XP Pro 2005

Now how do you do that? lol I know you use reshacker I believe. I know how to change the about box where it says memory available and licensed to all that good stuff. I know how to change text and pic but not sure how to change that unless you used paint which is pretty easy hehe

the one i have is a real copy....somewhat..... cause I used tweaknt to change the Win server 2k3 copy that i got yesterday at the launch into xp pro..... so now it comes up as win xp pro 2003 and is a hell of alot faster

its amazing any of the programs even run on the hacked stuff lol
