News on Microsoft PressPass: 2006 is the target date for Longhorn.

The real good news in this announcement is that Avalon will be available for Windows XP! Now Avalon development can start earlier :-)

The new filesystem (WinFS) will be ready when I thought it will be ready (Beta in 2006), but Longhorn is here before WinFS.

	Christian said: Of course this doesn't necessarily mean Aero on XP. Let's have some cool features for Longhorn ;-) Indigo and Avalon on XP helps starting earlier development with these technologies. August 27, 2004 5:22 PM

	Mario Goebbels said: Vectors are still in, 3D acceleration won't likely be available on XP (but LH) since it lacks the new driver model that makes it possible. And would be nice to know where people got the idea it's back to pixels, apart from the regular internet rumormill. August 30, 2004 8:20 AM
