So, with WinHEC coming to a close, the biggest talk was of course the newest release of Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Codename Longhorn, now at build 5048. With nearly one year since the previous release (build 4074) build 5048 sports some new features and lacks some others. Recently, the talk was centered around the lack of WinFS, the new futuristic Windows File system. However, we'll get to all that a little later.

Hi,
Hmmm, just from the screenshots, does anybody else think this looks kinda ugly?
Anyway, it's pre-release, so it's not really an issue. However, what *is* a problem is the fact that I can't see any "killer" features that make me drool...improved search? Sorry, after trying Best (okay fine, so it crashed...but at least it looks cool, and seems to be heading in the right direction), the screenshots of the new-fangled Search fail to impress.
The sidebar is gone - isn't this starting to look just like Windows 2003 with a morgified theme?
cya,
Victor
