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.

Longhorn is still lacking a number of features you would expect from an advanced operating system. In addition to that Microsoft is being sued by several companies about features used in some of the Longhorn core components. The situation is getting ugly.
Even if Microsoft keeps hyping Longhorn and people waiting they are loosing precious time and many will join the bandwagon and switch to Linux in the meantime. Once someone gets a taste of Linux and the free software world he/she will stick with it and another potential Longhorn user is gone.
