They've been saying next year for a while. This new UI better be fucking good! They've removed WinFS too which is a shitter as it sounded interesting. |

My prediction is that it'll be a good OS. With how long their release cycle is, if they screw up badly it'd be 2010 before they could redeem themselves, and that's too long. They'll probably release a quality product... that being said, I think Windows XP is the best consumer OS they've ever released, and I like it pretty good. |

If they release it next year I'll probably get around to using it in 2 or 3 years. I like to stay behind on whatever's been service-packed until it works properly. I only just switched to XP from Win2K because the new version of Reaktor is going to need XP. XP is okay if you turn off the flashy stuff that was put there to wow the yokels. I hope Longhorn will be the same... non-singing non-dancing options for power users. |

yikes, the projected recommended system requirements are a bit steep. my new laptop (2 months old) is only a centrino 1.6ghz and that article recommends a 1.86 pentium M 750. i do have the 533 fsb though... hmmm.. hmm! |
