The next version of the world's most popular desktop operating system, code-named "Longhorn," is due out in test form next year and in final form in 2004. It will have a new look and feel, very different from Windows XP's. Its guts will also be radically different from Windows XP's, because they're based on XML -- extensible markup language, the emerging lingua franca of the Internet. And it will be the first version that won't function fully without new hardware.


Someone care to explain this XML connection better?  Oh and did they say it needs NEW hardware? Why yes, they did.  :(

Include enhanced security. Longhorn will be the first operating system designed for use with PCI Express, the motherboard design that will succeed the PCI standard currently in force, Enderle said. In addition to providing a performance boost of up to eight times current speeds, the new design is required to harness the increased security features of Longhorn, which Enderle said are embodied in Microsoft's "Palladium"-branded trustworthy-computing initiative.

"Neither Linux nor Unix ties the operating system to hardware," he said.

"This could bring a higher level of security than anything we've ever seen. It will almost completely prevent the platform from being compromised."

To those "facts" about Longhorn, add the hopes of other analysts. Ideally, Longhorn will "fundamentally integrate" audio, video and images in a "visually stunning" manner, much like the Mac's OS X, said Tim Bajarin, president of the Campbell, Calif., research firm Creative Strategies Inc.

It should also be able to synchronize the multiple PCs, personal digital assistants and computer-equipped cell phones -- Microsoft calls them SmartPhones -- many people will own, Bajarin said.


Hmmm more dumb stuff.

"Neither Linux nor Unix ties the operating system to hardware"


1) Umm last time i checke, this was a good thing... if the OS is tied the hardware, the only ppl that benefit are the ppl that make the sotware and hardware - cuz each time you upgrade, you must get all new hardware AND software.

2) Define Unix you dipshit, it is no longer a single OS but a breed of OSes... including Linux.  fucking idiot.  Thats like saying "both windows 98 and windows 9x run this new software!"

Absolutely not.

They must be ignorant, it's in their blood.


The last thing I want is Windows tied to my hardware.

It's hard to read the alert box on that phone.

General Protection Fault? Probably. I like the ctrl-alt-delete buttons.
