Microsoft plans to brand Longhorn Server with the official name Windows Server 2008 at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Los Angeles this week, according to reports from ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley and News.com's Ina Fried.

All reports and rumors seem to indicate that Microsoft is still planning to release Windows Server 2008 to manufacturing before the end of the year and then do the official launch in early 2008.
