Re: No Windows XP SE as Longhorn jettisons features

yep i was reading about this........ they will have to ommit features just to get longhorn out for 2006, could even mean WinFS the new filesystem getting the boot, until a later update arrives.......

but they have moved most of there team to service pack 2 for xp in order to concentrate and complete it (xp sp2) on time.

That could be good news though. Its not just going to be some extra features and a fancy new look like they did with XP. I mean lets face it XP is just a fancy version of 2000 pro after all

even with my limited experiance with windows 2000, i can safely say that its very much the same as XP, i suppose the delay will mean that the hackers will have to wait a little longer to 'test' the security of longhorn
