Confirmed by Paul Thurrott and by Neowin. Windows Server 2003's final build number is 3790. If you are a Windows tester for Windows Server 2003 the evaluation version is sitting for you as we speak at Windows Beta Web. Below is a screenshot of Windows Beta Web with the current download available. Minor problems with key allotments and slow download speeds but its there.

We'll let you know about anymore developments and more screenshots as we get them.

Updated: This just in, no complimentary copy for beta testers - Please note CD media will not be made available. As in past server betas, only evaluation versions of Server 2003 will be made available to members of the technical beta. Final packaged product will be available on store shelves on or about 4/24/03

The Windows 64-bit architecture gives developers the freedom to create 64-bit applications using the familiar Windows programming model, encouraging the development of a wide-ranging set of software applications for the platform.

Microsoft and Intel Corp. began collaborating on 64-bit computing in 1996. In 2001, with Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, Microsoft delivered 64-bit desktop operating system support for the first-generation Itanium processor.

"Customers have long benefited from the platform synergy between Microsoft and Intel, from desktops to workstations to servers," said Mike Fister, senior vice president and general manager of the Intel Enterprise Platform Group. "We are very excited to now be moving into the next generation of high-end workstation computing with Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 for Itanium 2-based systems."

Today's RTM coincides with the RTM of the entire family of Windows Server 2003 products, including Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems and Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems. Microsoft will formally launch these products worldwide April 24 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 is available to developers now through MSDN® and is scheduled to be available to customers through PC manufacturers in the second quarter of this year.
