When you ask a Microsoft person to say what

nothing. A product with a purpose has a two-sentence description that
gets everyone so excited they can't wait.

Would You Want To Buy Longhorn Now?
12/02/2003 12:13 AMIt'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.

version of Windows really need to have? Let's face it, Windows XP was
largely a cleaned up, prettified version of Windows 2000.
Longhorn, which has been in development now for something like a
million years is supposed to be truly next generation. So what should
it have?
This article over at WinCustomize.com has been developed over the past

No More WinFS in Longhorn
No More WinFS in Longhorn
05/14/2004 08:55 PMLonghorn 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 AMIt'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,

12/11/2003 09:36 PMAt the end of October, Microsoft held the Professional Developers
Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles. With the largest number of attendees
of any previous PDC, we presented details regarding many upcoming
developer-oriented technologies, including "Whidbey" (the codename for
the next version of Visual Studio), "Yukon" (the codename for the next
version of SQL Server), as well as the much anticipated "Longhorn"
(the codename for the next version of Windows). Fortunately, we had
our camera crew down there as well, and were able to film a special
episode of the .NET Show during the event.
Miguel on Longhorn
Miguel on Longhorn
09/01/2004 05:33 PMMiguel 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"

Five myths about Longhorn

Tiger 150, Longhorn 0
Tiger 150, Longhorn 0
08/29/2004 10:56 AMWhen 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

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"
