Talk:Windows Server 2003 build 3623
Should clarify that this is not a leaked build[edit source]
On BetaArchive, there have been replies misunderstanding that this build is a leaked build. However, this build is actually NOT a leaked build, but a public build that was given away with China's previous computer magazine called "Software" (软件), it's worth noting that "Software" has long been transformed from a magazine to an academic journal since 2011. The publisher's name, "Zheng He", also indicates that this publisher from BetaArchive is Chinese. Back then, the magazine "Software" had a collaboration with Microsoft, and they even featured a special topic on .NET Server (i.e. Windows Server 2003). Although I possess the original CD of this build, unfortunately, the magazine itself has been lost. By searching for "Windows .NET Server" on CNKI (a major Chinese knowledge index), it's possible that this CD was included with the magazine's issues from 2002-07-15, or 2002-08-15 (both of which contained articles related to .NET Server). The 2002-07 issue seems more likely, as its cover featured a special focus on .NET Server. I can provide a photo of the disc if requested, I believe it's essential to clarify on BetaWiki that this build is not a leaked build. --Mydarknight (talk) 11:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC) last edited--Mydarknight (talk) 14:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
