[Am-info] Here's what I think the next Windows will look like

[Fred A. Miller]

"MICROSOFT HAS BEEN very quiet about what precisely Longhorn will be 
about. I think, based on insider discussions, I know some of what it's 
supposed to include. But the official silence is a cause for concern. 
But we know enough to say that Longhorn is already a small failure; the 
possibility of a big failure looms.


The small failure that's already become apparent: After a decade spent 
move its consumer, business, and server operating systems onto a single 
code-base (XP), Longhorn will not immediately result in a new server OS."
