Intimations of indisposed immanence on the part of the "Longhorn" desktop update to Microsoft Windows have been bandied about, but now it is official -- the earliest the OS will be ready to ship is 2006. There will be a considerable knock-on effect for the rest of the products which Microsoft is developing.
Of course, now SP 2 for XP is promised to be a "new version" of the OS, but still, I think the overall reduction in the pace of OS obsolescence will be highly welcome.
