94501 2002-10-30 02:41:00 AFAIK, It'll be built fully on the .NET framework

Havent seen much about it though. Looks interesting, but I like 2K over XP, So MS will have to do a fair amount of changes to make me change to it when released!

94503 2002-10-30 02:47:00 Longhorn will just be a flashed up XP to generate more cash for MS.
Blackcomb will be a full .NET based OS. There will be no server version of Longhorn, it will go straight from .NET Server to Blackcomb Server.

94505 2002-10-30 03:01:00 It's probably a heap of bull excreta. It won't be "cheaper. better, smaller, faster". Graham L (2)
94506 2002-10-30 03:08:00 AFAIK Longhorn is NT5.2 (the next one up from XP)

Blackcomb will be NT6.0 and the real new version of Windows (and probably a couple of years away at least).

94509 2002-10-30 03:42:00 Well, Ive read a bit about it, but Im still trying to get to grips with Win98 X-(
For God's sake they've only "just" released XP.
