New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn

Posted by Zonk on from the so-close dept.

sootman writes "Remember that new Windows shell? Looks like it'll be yet another technology that won't make it into Longhorn. 'It will take three to five years to fully develop and deliver,' said Microsoft Senior Vice President Bob Muglia this week at Tech Ed 2005. However, it's not dead yet--despite not shipping in Longhorn in 2006 or Longhorn Server in 2007, the article says 'Exchange 12 administration functions will be built atop Monad, which would enable users to do everything from the command line that can be done from the graphical interface.'"

    Sadly this reminds me of HL2. They had so many delays, and still haven't released DOD source.

    It's long since stopped being funny, and just makes stories on Slashdot annoying as hell to read as we scroll past your 8 pages of the same joke.

    You think it takes a long time to scroll past this shit? How long do you think it took me to write the damn thing? Besides, I get paid based on the amount of time people spend scrolling through this bastard post from hell. Once I get a contract based on score, rather than scrolling time, version 4.0 of The Longtooth Post will be optimized for brevity... See you then.
