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.

Honestly, the "I hate M$" attitude is *really* tired. Everyone's heard it, give it a rest.
The OS looks good but is in very *early* builds, so yeah, it's going to look rough. Anyone remember the early builds of Win XP? The final product didn't look hardly anything like the betas and you couldn't even begin to compare the quality...you could only speculate.
Also, this is based upon the best that Microsoft has created, to date. Windows 2003 Server is an excellent OS and any improvements they've made beyond that is sure to be great.
