Will Longhorn be a bull's-eye for Microsoft? | |

Microsoft has talked up Longhorn, the next version of Windows, so much that industry expectations have rocketed. However, some reticence about its release date seems to imply some performance anxiety. Last week, Microsoft chairman and chief executive Bill Gates confided to a meeting of financial analysts that Longhorn, the next major release of Windows, is "a bit scary". Most would presume that he meant it would be scary for users, because Longhorn products will be very different from today's Microsoft software, he said. But it appears the software is also causing some shivers at Microsoft. Only last year Microsoft said Longhorn would be just another Windows client. However, it is now clear that the software stable is breeding a whole herd of long-horned cattle with a dose of .net web services hormones. "Longhorn is the next generation, it's a big bet for us," Gates said at last week's financial analyst meeting. | ||

| Hey, at least he enclosed his response in [rant] tags. Rants typically consist of uneducated and ignorant comments of a negative nature. So he hit the nail right on the head. |

#1 - You can't be serious. Windows 95? I dare you to go back from XP to Windows 95 for a month!
I will send you the floppies. |

| I see these comments about bloat in Windows frequently... I never see any specifics though as to what this "bloat" is. What exactly would you (or anyone really) remove from Windows to "cut the useless bloat"? |

What an OS meant 10 years ago is not what it means today. World changes, so do the expactations of people.
I think Windows XP is a well designed OS. It provides you almost with every basics... and if you need a tool to work professionally, it is provided by a third party. If you write CDs now and then, with Windows XP you can do it easily without the need of another application; but if you are writing CDs very often, youi need to purchase professional applications. It is the same for editing movies. |
