Monad was expected to be in Windows Server 2003 R2 later this year. Not only missing that, but Longhorn, as well, seems like a huge, unrealistic leap. I think Ms. Foley is falsely assuming that "it will take three to five years to fully develop and deliver" means that we won't see it, period, for three to five years. I think that Microsoft, all along, has been preparing to ship parts of Monad in 2003 R2 and Longhorn. She should know better that Microsoft rarely ever lets things sit in the labs for 3-5 years without releasing working parts of it in the meantime.
