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.

THIS is IT? I'm not a mindless Windows basher...I use Linux for everything but I'm okay with people using Windows. Almost everyone I know does, and I don't try to force Linux or Mac upon them.
But please, Longhorn would be to XP what 95 was to 3.1, right? Where are the changes, the improvements, everything we have a right to expect of something that has been in development for five years?
Without going into the whole "who's copying from who" argument, seems like the Windows innovation has grinded to a halt. Longhorn looks like a minor XP improvement, nothing else.
