Microsoft execs extol snazzy graphics, connectivity, and security features of next Windows.
The successor to Windows XP isn't due until late next year, but Microsoft this week treated Windows hardware developers here to tantalizing glimpses of a slick-looking OS with support for all types of connectivity and multimedia, new security capabilities, and a new document format.
This next-generation Windows, code-named Longhorn, was the subject of numerous presentations at the 2005 Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, or WinHEC. Beta testing for Longhorn is due to begin this summer.
