You mean you're not going to wait for Longhorn?
Longhorn is going to be the last OS anyone will ever need. It will read your mind and respond before you even think what it is you want to do next. At least that's what some would have you believe. Obviously those people haven't had much expose to MS. With MS the next version is always the ultimate. But the present version never lives up to the hype. It's unreal how many people are repeatedly duped by this.
I continue to read how great Longhorn will be but so far I haven't read any examples of how it will be better. Could someone please be specific?
