Microsoft Seeds Developers with More Longhorn Concepts
2 Comments
Microsoft is offering yet another glimpse at its oft-delayed Longhorn edition of Windows. Two new concept videos have been posted to the MSDN Web site that demonstrate potential real-life scenarios for the software giant's next generation operating system.
The demos -- one geared towards telecoms and the other toward governments -- take a detailed look at longhorn's core technologies and discuss its promised benefits. Longhorn is expected to ship sometime in 2006; although, pundits are questioning Microsoft's ability to deliver on its key components like the WinFS file-storage system and the Avalon graphical subsystem.
