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.

Was the author of this article asleep for the past few days or did he miss the big brouhaha about MS not wanting screen shots of this build posted to the web. That and the fact that the EULA (I'm assuming the author attended WinHEC and agreed to said EULA) states that no-one is to talk about the features in this build for a period of one year?

Say what you will about that policy and how it was handled, but you might want to consider that said policy exists.
