Windows 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.

Come on... Early builds? They sould have finished the crap already according to the first schudules. Do you know how long they are already woring on this crap? Well, I know: far to long

It started abitious with their trusted computing shit. Then people started to doudt it, and when microsoft found out it performed missarable (since in trusted mode, even DMA cannot de done), thet scrapped it, and moved on to the next thing they could scrap.

Wat will eventually be sold is an update of 2003 with a "nicer" looking skin, and heavy system requirements ;)

Ow, btw, about the bad fonts in the picture: don't blame M$, it's just the JPEG artifacts fooling arround.
