Planned to be released in 2005 Longhorn is the follow on to the line of Microsoft’s Professional Operating Systems. Concentrating on the usability of the operating system and trying to improve on the things we do every day. Trying to convert mundane and boring tasks into a more user friendly experience for the user. Harnessing the power of .NET technology at its core, it is a full on environment with areas dotted everywhere for developers to “plug-in” and harness its power. Although Windows currently today holds the vast majority of the home user market this article will talk about mostly the server powered end of Longhorn intended for Business. Ill try and keep the home user bits to a minimum because although vastly improved, they have been well documented.
