Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista SP1 RTM’d

After the news of kernel-parity between Server 2008 and the first service pack for Vista it was no surprise to hear that they would both be available prior to next months launch. What is surprising however is that I’ve just received news that they’ve RTM’d within 20 minutes of each another.

From the WindowsServer blog:

As I write this, I’m in the room where it all happens; in building 26, better known as the ship room. Ten minutes ago Windows Server 2008 officially RTM’d. Also in here with me are my colleagues who have been working on Windows Vista SP1; also RTM’ing today. We’ve all been working towards this day for the past 3 years and over 5,000 people have contributed to this release.

A separate post on Vista SP1 RTM’ing is available at the Vista Team blog here.
