  Apple's Longhorn widget
Time: 04:19 EST/09:19 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Jokes about Longhorn, the very-long-awaited next version of Microsoft Windows, are becoming something of an annual tradition at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. Actually, when you think about it, the very fact that it can be an annual joke underscores the point. At any rate, whereas last year it was banners in the conference hallways, this year the joke came during a short segment in the middle of Apple CEO Steve Jobs' keynote. Demonstrating a countdown clock "widget" for the Mac, Jobs typed in the word Longhorn and the date 12/31/2006 -- actually a couple months after Longhorn is expected to be on the market. (I've recreated the result here.) The crowd had a good laugh.
