What is "Longhorn"? | |
|
||
| Time: 16:29 EST/21:29 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Microsoft is currently in the early stages of building the next version of Windows, codenamed "Longhorn." It is being designed to provide the foundation for a new industry wave of innovation—ultimately enabling businesses to use technology more effectively, with far fewer barriers, while allowing customers to better realize the full benefits of technology in their everyday lives. Microsoft Windows XP is the first step towards the realization of a model of computing designed around end-to-end experiences that improve the productivity and decision-making abilities of organizations while informing and entertaining our customers at home. "Longhorn" will be the next step in this new wave as personal computing becomes a powerful asset in the everyday lives of millions of people worldwide. As we design "Longhorn," Microsoft is listening carefully to customers, partners and developers all over the world to understand the challenges they face and to design a product to address the changing needs of our customers and the industry. | ||

| #50 - not sure I see your point, considering Longhorn is in Alpha it will go through lots of colour changes, yes right now it looks ugly, but for once I have faith that Aero might actually turn out to be good in ways that Quartz on the Mac isn't (but could well be by the year 2005/06 when Longhorn ships. |

| #54 - agreed, no chance what so ever of it coming out next year, if it did then this would be one of the most rushed majorly changed OS's in history. |

Longhorn SDK - http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/
Longhorn dev center - http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/ Petzold on Avalong - http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/default.aspx?pull=/msdnmag/issues/04/01/Avalon/default.aspx Info on Aero - http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaero/html/samplerintro.asp Why don't we just chill for a few days (weeks/months), read the documentation, play with the alphas/betas, and then, after we actually know something, come back and have an intelligent disucssion. Parker, I'm glad you are enthusiastic, but PDC build of Longhorn is anything but polished. Even RH "Severn" did a better job of recognizing my devices than LH 4051 did. If Microsoft ships LH (that is, if it RTMs, I don't mean a "stable" beta), prior to 2005, I have no doubt they'll ship a very flawed product. |
