Looking at Longhorn

Posted by michael on Sunday May 4, 2003 @08:03AM from the proudly-imitating-all-of-Mac-OS's-flaws dept.

ShinyPlasticBag writes "Paul Thurrott has an excellent preview of Longhorn milestone five over at his Supersite for Windows. It looks like this may be Microsoft's equivalent to OS X -- the next version of Windows will have a 3D accelerated desktop and other graphical goodies. In addition to this, it will include a journaling file system, so us mere mortals can enjoy what Linux Geeks have had for years."
