Well, folks, we're getting close now. According to our internal sources here at WinBeta, the latest (and hopefully, the last), build of Windows 2003 Server is now in escrow. "Escrow" is a stage of completion in a new product were the anticipated final code is sent for a period of 15 days to do 'Final Testing', and if no 'Showstoppers', or bugs are found in this time period, the code in escrow becomes final.

A nice number, build 3785 may be that "Special Code" that finally will see the RTM tag attached. Since Microsoft is still sticking to the April, 24th date for Windows 2003 Server to go retail. They havent much more time. Of course, we at WinBeta will keep you informed of the latest developements, and time tables for release. Stay tuned......
