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.

I have two questions. Anyone familiar with Windows development, please chime in.
1) I was under the impression Longhorn was meant to be a new start so to speak, but I'm reading here that it's based on a XP SP2/Win 2003 code-base?
2) Can someone give a brief run-down of the main new features of Longhorn? No real detail (I can google that), just key points.
