John Morris from CNET recently
reviewed Microsoft Windows Longhorn. Its more of a non-developers point-of-view but a good read.
John also mentions that the retail market cost of Longhorn
will be the same as that of XP (according to Bill Gates). I
feel that the cost & the delivery time are two sensitive
issues which are by far speculative. What's intriguing is
that, of the 300+ people who voted on the site only 50%
recommended Longhorn (as of now - ie: Alpha build). Some have
even posted their
comments
(positive or negative). But again, the actual product is
atleast 3-4 years away.
