I take it as a misunderstanding. I can (in a best case scnenario) imagine a final release of Server2003-64EE late this year. At least this one is in beta-stage.

But there is no beta WXP-EE(64) out today afaik. Most web-gazettes mix all this up and take a preview as a beta as well. Which it is not. Plus, somewhat counterintuitively, a desktop OS is a far more complex animal than a server OS.
I would be very surprised if one beta and just one RC will be all what it takes to make this one ready for a final. Suggest to scan the relevant newsgroups to get an idea where things really are currently.

In essence, I consider my entry to be very, very optimistic. To have a WXP-EE64 final within a year from today is more a hope than a realistic expectation.
