Windows NeoSmart has the goods on the release of Windows Longhorn Server Beta 3, and the availability of public ISO images for x86, x64, and Itanium versions of the English, German, and Japanese localizations of the various Windows Server flavors. According to NeoSmart, it's the same as the April CTP, but with some bug fixes and compiler optimizations.

If you want to see what is in Service Pack 1 of Windows Vista, then give Longhorn Server a try - basically what you see there, will appear in SP1. It will be interesting to give Longhorn Server a go once it has been released.

The other interesting thing will be the whole issue with activation. They've started including it with the corporate editions, which brings to quesiton the issue of servers, hardware replacement and the frequency of that hardware replacement, and how this impacts on the need to activate.

In a desktop setting, its a non-issue as most people don't really change their hardware that oftern, but the problems are amplified when in a server situation.
