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.

One thing i am wondering is , why was built 5048 was given out when built 5060 was running in Ms labs and was ready?
Hmm, i will miss sidebar, but las it took too much screen estate, may be they should make it optional.
And yes the this code is being built upon Win2k3, so its solid right on.
And this build was intended for developers, so use your heads and think, and read the development time line, when other things would get added.
