An update to the Windows Server operating system is set for delivery, Microsoft said on Tuesday.

The update, called Windows Server 2003 R2, is a paid upgrade for users of Windows Server 2003. The software should make its way to customers within 60 days, the company said.

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates first mentioned the planned update in an interview with CNET News.com last year. The company announced plans for Windows Server 2003 R2 in May 2004.

The update includes improved branch office and storage management abilities and other capabilities, some of which have previously been released as feature packs. R2 is based on the core of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, which was released last year. By adding features while leaving the core of the operating system intact, Microsoft said it has designed R2 to require less testing before companies can deploy the software.
