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.'"

    What will Longhorn include that will make Windows 2000 or Windows XP using businesses want to move? All of the technology that was supposed to be Longhorn isn't Longhorn anymore.

    Maybe it's time for a "Vaporware" section of the news? Or is that the M$ section? *ducks*
