    Longhorn, Another New Possibility


    (Page 1 of 5 )

    Recently, I received over 120 email messages asking me about Longhorn and what it's all about. Because I don't have enough time to reply to all these messages (sorry folks), I thought a better idea would be to write a brief article on Longhorn and how it will change the way everyone working in IT with Microsoft technologies must think. Although this new intelligent operating system won’t be released until at least 2006, it's not a bad idea for you, as a developer, to begin mapping your mind.

    Introducing Longhorn

    Microsoft’s next operating system (code-name Longhorn) will be more stable, secure, smart, powerful, and faster than any of the current Microsoft operating systems, or other vendors for many reasons.

    You can think of Longhorn as a complete step to further computerize the world. I think that Microsoft spent many years researching on their current operating systems and their existing problems, as well as how to fix them. For example, as you know security is one issue that Microsoft tries to improve on with each new release of its Windows OS beginning with NT4 to Windows 2000 to Windows XP, as well as Windows 2003. But, Longhorn is the first OS designed and developed using .NET and managed code. So all the features that .NET programmers know about (and actually like) in .NET are implemented by the fine folks over at Microsoft. Longhorn will bring us many new features with a new programming markup language called XAML, which is an XML-based language. So let's take a step by step look into Longhorn.
