Longhorn sounds like some programmer at Microsoft is from Texas. I really wonder sometimes how they come up with these names. I also would hate to be part of their security information team because it never fails someone always gets there hands on a rouge copy of the latest products Microsoft is working on. I would not be surprised if it isn’t pre-authorized to get a little press coverage and also to let geeks like me to get a sneak preview.
You would think Microsoft would just send me a copy :) anyway to get a look at what Microsoft has planned for us on it’s follow up to Windows XP read the Register article here and check out BetaNews screen shots here. The BetaNews site is getting slammed pretty hard so be patient.
