Hello,
Today I was walking at the MSDN Forums and I see two very strange forums, Microsoft Codename 'Oslo' and Microsoft Codename 'Dublin', what is this? what they do?
Says on my link that Dublin is the next Windows Server release.

I believe Dublin are essentially extensions to IIS. I don't believe it is a whole new release to Windows per se. It provides facilities to track, monitor correlate WCF/WF services. It builds upon WAS. Unless I am mistaken?

The linked content on "Dublin" is stone-age. Jon is right. It'll be an extension to IIS/WAS enabling more reliable services.

And the comment on Oslo is even worse. When it was announced, it was for SOA. But that was back in 2007.

Dublin There hasn't really been much publishing around Dublin. The community hoped for an answer to "What is the Java EJB Application Server-Pandon in .NET?".
Anyway, we expect more to come by this years PDC. Have a look at the sessions on Dublin here:Sessions on Dublin
One of them has following text, which summarizes the plans, I guess:
.NET 4 and “Dublin” provide new application hosting, tracking, and persistence capabilities. Learn the benefits of different hosting options and how to choose the right option for your scenario. Learn …
From what I've heard so far it will be an extension for IIS that works with WAS and will host WCF services in a better way, than *.svc-Files do today.
