The Road to Windows "Longhorn" | |
|
||
| Time: 14:31 EST/19:31 GMT | News Source: WinInformant | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
If you're a Net junkie like me, you've probably seen screenshots that reportedly expose upcoming user interfaces for the next two versions of Windows (code-named "Longhorn" and "Blackcomb"). You might have heard of internal alpha builds of either OS, and maybe, just maybe, you've seen the infamous Blackcomb movie that's making the rounds as well. I've spent the past few months investigating all of these things, and after speaking with several Microsofties and uncovering the truth behind the wild stuff that's available on the Internet, I thought I'd provide a little heads-up on what's really going on with the next version of Windows. Chances are, everything you know is wrong. But I do know this: As of this date--mid-January 2002--every single screenshot you've seen that purports to be Longhorn or Blackcomb is either fake or actually shows something other than those OSes. Every single one. And there are no builds of Blackcomb floating around, internal or otherwise. | ||

Two things in the article that are inaccurate AFAIK:
1: Longhorn is supposed to be the next point release (i.e., XP2E). Paul was just predicting, but it is pretty-much set that Longhorn is XP Second Edition. 2: Most if not all of the features he mentioned will not require a Pentium 4 class CPU. |
