Longhorn to be Released in 2006, Sans WinFS

skillio writes "Everyone's favorite OS maven, Bill Gates, announced a release date for Longhorn on Friday. He confirms what many had suspected - Microsoft will attempt to complete this release in calendar year 2006. The most notable element of this announcement was Gates' admission that WinFS, Microsoft's next-generation file system, would not be complete in time for this release - surprising, since this was the most hyped component of the next iteration of Windows."

Does that mean that 3 out of 10 nerds have never been exposed to the sun?

I decided not to mod the talk because I wanted to reply to what is probably a troll post.

get a life.

who gives a fuck if twitter is so anti-MS

you don't like him, put him on your foe list.

But to NOT tell me how to mod anything. I take everything on a post by post basis.

mainly since your a AC ninny who's not man/women enough to post under your account.

Notice I don't have a problem replying under my account name.

so what, did twitter post something that you didn't like, and call you a troll or liar? probably because you relied to his post with an AC.

next time, log in when your going to tell people about how "horrible" someone here is. Give that person a chance to face his accuser.

You're == abbreviation of "you are"

Your == belongs to you

Yes, people who post as AC all the time are lazy and annoying. I wish they wouldn't do it. However, I'm glad the AC option exists despite the trolling and other abuse that happens under it. As in real life, it causes a lot of low-level annoyance plus the occasional life-saver.
