Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Please add "Windows .NET" as a OS. We're getting bugs reported at this specific OS.

Comment 1

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Um, "Windows .NET" is not an OS, not even close. INVALID.

from http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/default.mspx

" Windows .NET Server 2003 Release Candidate 1 is finished. It's time to try the
newest Windows server operating system in your environment."

sounds like an OS to me.

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

I guess .NET really is the MS buzzword for this milennium, now they're gotta
have the name of an application framework in the name of an new OS (or
whatever), geez... Changing summary to reflect what appears to be the name of
this new OS or whatever.

we should wait until it's released, we've waited for most other os's, not
waiting results in naming errors.  Until it's released people can use the Status
Whiteboard to indicate it's this os if necessary and should use Windows XP as
the os.

WONTFIX for now. Please reopen or file a new bug when the OS is released and the
name is confirmed.

Now that "Windows .NET Server 2003" has been revealed to be Windows XP Server,
maybe the option 'windows XP' should be changed to 'windows XP/2003'?

Do enough people run mozilla on the server version to justify even doing this?
On the other hand, is the server version different enough from XP to justify
giving it its own entry?

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Reopening. Windows 2003 Server has been finished since 2003-03-28. It should be
added to the OS list.

Can you at least indicate IE's useragent string from wXP server ?

Comment 11

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Timeless, I don't know exactly what you mean by that, but Windows 2003 Server
can be identified by the Windows NT 5.2 OS-string in the user-agent. For example:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030807

Comment 12

[timeless]

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
