CCM 7.0 will be Windows based!
Unofficial!
I haven't found any official statement but from some sources it looks like that the new Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0 will be again Windows based!
I remember how happy we were while we were running Cisco Call Manager 4.0 and then Cisco has announced that the upcoming CCM in version 5.0 will be Linux based. Everyone was very pleased by this information.
On the other hand, after having a try with CCM5 and CCM6 ... it looks like many ppl say that the administrative interface is somehow slow. And from my experience I have to admit it. But I don't think that it's a problem of Linux or Windows. The web server performance issues are probably somewhere else. Anyway, the CCM5 and CCM6 have lots of new features and they work pretty well.
I am looking forward to give a try the new CCM7.0 :-D
I don't know yet
I don't know yet, but I guess that it will be released in 2008. And I think it will be still running just on Windows 2003 which will be a bit shame :-( Windows Vista (2008) server will have some nice new features and it would be maybe more suitable for CCM. But well, we will see :-)
