Now that Longhorn’s Here… How Did They Do
Mark Minasi
8:30 - 9:30a.m.
After much waiting, testing, and at least one “throw the code away and start over,” Microsoft’s delivered the Longhorn Twins – Vista and Server 2008, as well as a first (and big!) service pack for Vista. They’re not done, of course – we’ll see Windows 7 in a few years – but for now, they’re what we’ve got. So how did Microsoft do? What did they miss? What cool things might you not have noticed yet? Join veteran Windows watcher Mark Minasi for a “it’s not beta any more, so it’s fair to give it a close look” examination of the current state of Windows.
