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.

Has the author ever sat in front of a Macintosh and just taken OSX for a spin? Come on, really. I'm a PC user, hardly a Macintosh fanatic but one needs not go further than the Mac desktop to see that, once again, MS waits for Apple to do the innovating, work that magic, create the dazzlingly beautiful and fluid environment so they can shamelessly aquire it for themselves. The same trend has continued since Windows was launched and the very notion Apple should somehow be worried is absolutely absurd. Which begs the question, if I like it so much, why do I drive a PC? Because, yes, the Mac is still more expensive and yes, like VHS versus Betamax, the stupid people won. Longhorn is going to be a weak advancement for Windows. But it will sell millions on the hype alone.
