I never said that Longhorn will be obsolete. I simply used Longhorn and its delays and feature degradation as an example of the complex engineering problem that software vendors face these days. We saw this coming awhile ago and decided to start moving in a different direction as a means to mitigate this increasing complexity. The obsolescence comment is an editorialization by the interviewer not IBM's opinion.
