Longhorn Server beta 3

Well, I have been running this for some time in a VM and it seems perfectly stable, I am considering upgrading my 2k3 server and running it live :/ I have been Googling to try to find the answer to the question of whether or not is will be upgradeable to the rtm release and I think it is - apparently the www.microsoft.com site is running it so I assume it will be!

Plus IIS7 is now issued with a Go Live license:

After months of preparing IIS7 for the release of Windows Server Codename “Longhorn” Beta 3, the IIS team is proud announce that IIS7 has reached a very high level of quality and is now ready for broad customer testing

Fingers crossed, all I have to lose is the weeks I spent getting IIS6 working properly under 2k3! I am looking to deploy it to test against, I’m sure we will end up using it at work and I am particularly interested in the Virtualization that will be coming soon after Longhorn is released..
