Why Longhorn? | |
|
||
| Time: 10:52 EST/15:52 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Over the last six months, I have been asking almost everybody who matters a very simple question. Why Longhorn? It's already late, and Microsoft has decided not to include two of the three most anticipated features in the final build. Is it going to change anything at all? Is it worth waiting for? And the answer always seems to swing towards the negative; whether it is "wait and watch, I don't see much currently", or that "it may be more secure, not much else". No better! Of the current feature list that Microsoft seems to have thrown our way, Longhorn doesn't contain a single enhancement which you can't add to Windows XP for free already. Most people would say it is a question of integration and that once Microsoft has made an API out of everything from desktop search to 3D Accelerated rendering; it will all start to look a whole lot synergetic, as all apps will be able to use it, and maybe even run faster. Some say it may be worthwhile because it will look better. | ||
