Microsoft Longhorn, now in 2006
The longly touted Longhorn OS which will be replacing WinXP has been pushed back (yet again) to 2006 with the server vesion being pushed back till 2007.
Also the highly anticpated new database file sytem (WinFS) won’t be included in Longhorn. It hasn’t been dumped, just not going to be in the next operating system.
Ordinarily this isn’t a problem for Opensource providers like myself (in fact it’s even good news). What is the problem is how Microsoft continually dangles carrots in front of customers faces saying ‘look look we’ve got the best system ever coming out ($thisyear+1)!!’ all the time making customers hestiant to make a decision until they see this new system.
