First off, Microsoft pushed WinFS back to the release after Longhorn. Second, Longhorn will not lock the user in like everyone thinks. First the Palladium technology would have to beat out the growing AMD market (which I suspect it won't), and Longhorn MUST offer something of value to the computing community. So far from what I have seen, Microsoft has done nothing of the sort.
With all of the new advancedments in Computational Physics, when will we give up on Moore's law ? There are already several different technoligies set to break it into pieces.
Microsoft's threat to the Linux community will not be raised by Longhorn. I doubt that Microsoft's newest OS will have anything drastically new that the Linux community does not already have, or that can easily be added.

I work with BrickSERVER on the security project I run off of http://www.uberhacker.Com. They are pretty well fortified for a Slashdotting.
