Windows 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.

WinHEC builds

Do any of you even know what WinHEC builds are for? Seems like Mr. Paul "I know everything about Windows" Thurrott doesn't. WinHEC builds aren't even betas. They aren't supposed to be pretty, they don't have to be usable by the end-user. They're for hardware vendors, anything else is secondary. You know, it's called the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference for a reason.
