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. | ||
