Microsoft: Longhorn to arrive in 2005 | |

Longhorn, the next major version of Windows for desktop PCs, will debut in 2005 and will usher in a new level of graphics for PCs, Microsoft executives said Wednesday. While Microsoft plans to release "a couple of beta," or test, versions of Longhorn in 2004, the final version of the operating system won't come out commercially until 2005, said Will Poole, senior vice president of the Windows Client division at Microsoft. He made the comments during a speech delivered at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here. Previously, analysts and sources had speculated that Longhorn would come out in or late 2004 or early 2005. "The weight of the company is behind Longhorn," Poole said. "This is a huge bet for the company. It will really change the landscape of what people see." | ||

| A collective sigh of relief. Gives us time to implement XP and look at Server 2003, and it gives Microsoft time to figure out what the heck Longhorn is going to be(from what I've seen at WinHec its looking more and more like Microsoft is jumping around all over the place). |

| Any product that is 2 years out or more would look like it's jumping around all over the place. |

Brain, I'll agree with you that it is a general rule that any product that is 2 years out will look like its jumping all over the place, but remember that even Microsoft employees were saying that Longhorn would possibly come out in 2004--only a year away.
I guess Microsoft needs to do a better job filling in all the gaps in their vision for me, because if I understand how we get from where we are today, to where Microsoft wants us to be in the future, I'd be more apt to accept their vision and not cast it off as pure rubbish. |
