Microsoft hat den geplanten Veröffentlichungstermin für den Nachfolger der SUS-Dienste, die Windows-Updates automatisch im LAN verteilen, auf Mitte nächsten Jahres verschoben. Das teilte das Unternehmen auf einer Konferenz in Toronto mit.

Schade, hätte ihn gerne auf die XP-Migration in Betrieb genommen. Dann halt mit der SW-Verteilung

Also mit der Zeit nerven die ständigen Terminverschiebungen. Es reicht langsam. Können die denn überhaupt kein Termin einhalten?

Ich warte lieber ein bisserl länger auf ein neues Produkt wenn es dafür entsprechend ausgereift ist. Dann hat die IT-Welt weniger zu klagen, nicht ?

Als MS-User würde ich darüber auch nicht klagen.

Aber sich als "Konkurrent" darüber freuen ?

Also ganz ganz ein bisschen Schadenfreude wird doch keinem vergönnt sein.

Schade der SUS ist schon geil, Wie lauft dan erst der WUS.

Stimmt, ihr habt ja sonst nicht viel zu lachen....

Hier noch das offizielle Statement:

Thank you for your interest in the Open Evaluation Program for Microsoft's forthcoming Windows Update Services product. This email provides an update on the schedule for the program and the release of the production version of the product.

When the Windows Update Service Open Evaluation Program was announced earlier this year, it was expected that the program would be launched this summer (3rd quarter of this year). The program is now expected to be launched in conjunction with the beta 2 version of Windows Update Services which is scheduled for the 4th quarter of this year. The production release of Windows Update Services is scheduled for the first half of 2005.

There are two primary drivers behind this schedule change:

-- The March release of the Windows Update Services closed beta has spurred overwhelming interest from customers and partners evaluating the product. We have assessed this input as part of the beta cycle, and are committed to incorporating the feedback before releasing the next beta release for the Windows Update Services Open Evaluation Program.

-- The Windows Update Services team is developing a new Automatic Updates agent which will be included in XPSP2. The new agent is used both to improve the updating experience for XPSP2 users connecting directly to Windows Update and for users who will leverage Windows Update Services in their corporate environments in the future. This decision to include the new Automatic Updates technology in XPSP2, and perform the necessary integration and testing, also contributes to the development schedule for Windows Update Services being staggered behind the XPSP2 release.

Microsoft regrets that the schedule for the product has been pushed back. However, we are committed to delivering a high quality release - our philosophy is to never release a program or product (beta or otherwise) until it's ready.

We would also like to clarify that unlike the closed beta program, everyone who has registered (or will register) for the Open Evaluation Program will be accepted into the program and will have the ability the try out the beta 2 version of Windows Update Services.

Please also note that the final production release of Windows Update Services will include a migration toolkit that will simplify the migration from Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 with SP1 to Windows Update Services, so if you are holding off on implementing SUS because of concerns about migrating to Windows Update Services, we encourage you to go ahead and implement SUS 1.0 with SP1, which can be downloaded from <http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=715692>.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work toward delivering a high quality release of this important product. We look forward to hearing your feedback when you try out the beta 2 version later this year.

Sincerely,
The Windows Update Services Team
