Windows I am waiting for Longhorn. Thus, I was very interested in the new 4051 build. Here are my findings.

My opinion

I have to say they haven't gone that far away from what they have now with what they have at the moment. I expect major changes, especially it it will take another 1 or 2 years to finish it. The slow loading, I'm wondering if they are programming it for the new CPUs that will be running twice as fast as they are now when Longhorn comes out, or is it really a memory hog and 512 isn't enough anymore. I'm also wondering if a virus could be writen to use the WinFS way of sorting against the operating system in anyway, and the fact that if you disable it, makes some MS software not run. So far my verdict is a "not that impressed", but I hope they change that.
