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.

The few reviews of Longhorn that came out recently all have one thing in common: They say that Longhorn looks good but is lacking features, runs excruciatingly slow, eats up memory, and is likely to introduce more problems than it was aimed to solve.
In all honesty, who in the world would buy such a product? Even if I was a computer manufacturer who is just in the business of selling hardware I would think twice before selling computers with Longhorn on them and potantially exposing myself to a flood of customer complaints and frustration.
