It might be easy to list off and identify core technologies such as Avalon for Graphics, WinFS for Data Storage, and Indigo for Communications, but the fourth pillar of "Longhorn" is a little more elusive then that. Longhorn "Fundamentals" is an important part of what we feel is part of the core experience of Longhorn. It includes User Experience, System Security, Application Deployment, System Manageability, as well as many other features and capabilities.

A product with a purpose has a two-sentence description that gets everyone so excited they can't wait. Longhorn isn't designed to solve anyone's problems. I think they all know it, but they can't say it out loud because they've all drunk the Kook Aid on this.

Would You Want To Buy Longhorn Now? 12/02/2003 12:13 AM
It's no secret that plenty of bootleg software shows up in various marketplaces in Asia. Thus, while I'm not at all surprised to hear that Malaysian street vendors are apparently selling bootleg copies of Microsoft's Longhorn OS, I have to wonder who would buy such a thing? Microsoft, of course, isn't known for getting things right on the first shot, but this isn't even the first release of Longhorn, but something that is so far in pre-release mode that I'd be surprised if it really works at all. Longhorn isn't expected to hit the market for a couple of years (note the plural), so I imagine anyone who actually spends money on it at this point is getting something that isn't anywhere near ready for prime time use.

Longhorn - a long way off

Longhorn - a long way off 08/13/2004 03:51 PM
Notable Windows journalist, Paul Thurrott, has been on the Microsoft Campus this week.

"...based on some unrelated bits of information I gleaned this week, I'm now convinced that Longhorn, the next major Windows release, will be delayed beyond even the dates that speculators have been throwing around. This news raises the specter, once again, of a possible Windows XP Second Edition release as a buffer between XP and Longhorn. Don't scoff. Contrary to official denials, Microsoft has indeed investigated an interim XP release and is now looking into it again."

Truth be told, what Paul is saying is not that unbelievable. Microsoft took a lot of techies off the Longhorn program, and put them onto Service Pack 2 for Windows XP development; they wanted a good SP to ship which was going to set them (and Windows XP) in good stead for the next few years. However, at the cost of building a bit more redunancy into the Windows life cycle, they pushed back further the Longhorn release - as little as 6 months, easily as long as a year.

A SE edition of XP isn't that hard to concieve. Microsoft have done it before (Windows ME - halfway house between 98 and 2000), and wouldn't be afraid to do it again. One could see Microsoft for example putting in various features that are completed - e.g. aim to implement WinFS - and ship this as interim build; they'd have to work hard however to turn it into more than just a pay-for service pack.

The company makes a fair amount of its revenue from the Windows product line - they need to keep selling copies to keep the business as profitable as it is. An intermediary release would be a solution to a distant next edition of Windows, and would also act as a indicator of just that- a Longhorn release as far away perhaps as 2010.

Windows Longhorn?

Windows Longhorn? 08/11/2004 12:43 AM
I'm not sure why Microsoft feel the need to reinvent the name of their operating system with every major release: Windows 1.0 to 3.1.1, Windows 95 to 98, Windows NT 3.5 to 4.0, Windows Me, Windows 2000 to 2003, Windows XP. Sure it's confusing, isn't it?
But, anyhoo, can you help out Microsoft's marketing department in coming up with a new name for Longhorn?

Miguel on Longhorn

Miguel on Longhorn 09/01/2004 05:33 PM

Miguel de Icaza of GNOME fame made some int eresting observations regarding Microsoft's recent decision to release certain Longhorn technologies (mainly Avalon, the new UI framework) for Windows XP.

My prediction is that Avalon v1 will be a throw-away: it is not really the foundation on which you will build applications: V2 will likely not be backwards compatible, they will have to re-architect bits of it: which means that people will end up with two frameworks running side-by-side: Avalon V1 and Avalon V2.

Dave Winer also chimes in with regards to the fact that this probably increases the workload for the Avalon team, and could put things into a death march.

When you ask a Microsoft person to say what Longhorn is supposed to do, you get rambly hand-wavy words that mean nothing. A product with a purpose has a two-sentence description that gets everyone so excited they can't wait. Longhorn isn't designed to solve anyone's problems. I think they all know it, but they can't say it out loud because they've all drunk the Kool Aid on this.

Dave gets points for using one of the most popular terms around Gadgetopia World Headquarters to describe getting buy-in on something: "Drinking the Kool-Aid"

No More WinFS in Longhorn

No More WinFS in Longhorn 05/14/2004 08:55 PM

Longhorn goes to pieces: WinFS is out of Longhorn. That's gotta hurt. They've been talking about this as the centerpiece of the release.

Advanced search features that Gates has termed the "Holy Grail" of Longhorn, the next major version of Windows, won't be fully in place until 2009, Bob Muglia, the senior vice president in charge of Windows server development, told CNET News.com.

The technology, called WinFS, is an add-on the Windows file system that Microsoft says will make it easier for users to find data such as documents, e-mail messages and multimedia files — no matter what their format — on local PCs and across the network.

Doing The Impossible With Longhorn

Doing The Impossible With Longhorn 09/11/2004 05:38 AM
It's funny how circumstances can change your perception of what's possible. A few months ago, key Microsoft architects were telling me that it would be impossible to decouple the Avalon presentation subsystem from the Longhorn OS. Now they're huddling in conference rooms trying to figure out how to do just that. It makes me wonder what else might turn out to be possible after all. By Jon Udell, Infoworld (via MyAppleMenu)

Tiger 150, Longhorn 0

Tiger 150, Longhorn 0 08/29/2004 10:56 AM
When Steve Jobs took the stage at the Worldwide Developers Conference and unveiled the next version of OS X, Tiger, comparisons were quick to be drawn to Microsoft's Longhorn — some by Apple itself with a few strategically-placed banners. At the time, Longhorn was still packed with the promise of a better search engine, one that seemed to even put Panther’s superior engine to shame. But then Steve demoed Spotlight, and all fears were put to rest. Set to launch in the first half of 2005, Tiger continues to pile on the features, while Longhorn, now looking at a <A HREF="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=569&ncid=73 8&e=3&u=/nm/20040828/tc_nm/tech_microsoft_windows_dc">2006< /A> target date, is trimming its own. "We've had to make some trade-offs to deliver the features corporate customers, consumers and OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are asking for in a reasonable time frame," said Microsoft group vice president Jim Allchin. Apparently, five years just isn't enough time to properly overhaul an OS. "In developing software, somewhere you have to put a stake in the ground and there's often some hard trade-offs you have to make," said Michael Cherry, a analyst with Directions on Microsoft, an independent researcher based in Kirkland, Washington. The Windows File System, or WinFS for short, is — or rather, was — "the active storage subsystem in Longhorn that is used for searching, organizing, and sharing data. WinFS maintains a store of items and their properties, and provides a system service in Longhorn to retrieve information when it's needed." However a <A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/winfs/default.aspx?pull=/lib rary/en-us/dnaero/html/wux_topic_storage.asp">note</A> on the Microsoft Web site reads, "In spite of what may be stated in this content, WinFS is not a feature that will come with the Longhorn Operating System. However, WinFS will be available on the Windows platform at some future date, which is why this article continues to be provided for your information"

And Yet More Longhorn Reverberations

And Yet More Longhorn Reverberations 09/21/2004 02:33 PM
We reported previously that the recent Longhorn "reset" resulted in the further delay of the Microsoft Business Framework. But the new Longhorn strategy could have other implications for developers, especially if Microsoft ends up having to push back Avalon, its Longhorn presentation subsystem, the way it did WinFS. Regardless, "Orcas," the Visual Studio release that's set to follow Visual Studio 2005 ("Whidbey") is still part of the Longhorn wave.
