Should be a lot better once they get WFS working properly but I suspect it'll be "too damn pretty"

When's it due out?

Lorand · 08-31-2004, 01:25 AM

It seems that the first release of Longhorn will be somewhat lighted (without some new features, including WinFS), just for being ready by the deadline.

**Praetor** · 08-31-2004, 01:35 AM

That'll suck without WFS man ... i'm lookin forward to it

marquita188 · 08-31-2004, 02:08 AM

dumb question huh?

Lorand · 08-31-2004, 02:12 AM

It's the new file system. Read more about it here.

OH! i didn't know that.. thanks!

Good news: WinFS will be available for XP too.
Bad news: at the Longhorn's launch (2006) it will be only in beta version.
