Microsoft Longhorn Delayed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-gathering-saltlicks dept.

skreuzer writes "Microsoft has once again shifted the schedule for the release of "Longhorn," the company's next major version of Windows. The product was originally expected to ship next year. Then in May of this year, officials pushed back the release date to 2005. But now executives are declining to say when they expect the software to ship."
