Nothing short about Longhorn

A question that seems to be on everyone's mind is when will Microsoft release Longhorn? Longhorn is the codname for the operating system that will supercede XP. Well folks, it looks like late 2006 according to BBC News. For those interested, WinFS is now on the back burner, but Avalon and Indigo are intact. Wow, 5 years later. Personally, XP was not a huge improvement over Windows 2000, but Windows 2000 was absolutely awesome in replacing Windows Millenium (the shortest lived operating system in Microsoft history). CoolTechZone has a related article.

Rainy weather and a nerve jarring backache have a way of slowing things down. Please pass the Flexiril: I'm outta' here in more ways than one.
