CNET News.com's Charles Cooper explains why the upcoming OS is so important to Microsoft and the rest of the tech industry.
Say what you want about Longhorn, just don't call it Windows XP Service Pack 3.
The next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, isn't due for a few years. But Microsoft has recently divulged more information on the OS, which promises to be a significant upgrade.
Microsoft is expected next month to disclose more details on Longhorn, its planned upgrade to Windows, as the company looks to drive demand for the forthcoming operating system.
An early test version of the next major release of Microsoft Windows has been leaked onto the Net, offering a glimpse of the company's plans for the new software.
Yet another version of the next generation of Windows XP--known for now as Longhorn--has leaked onto the Web, showing a fledgling operating system that's remarkably well developed even in a pre-alpha state.
Longhorn, the next major version of Windows for desktop PCs, will debut in 2005 and will usher in a new level of graphics for PCs, according to Microsoft executives.
A more advanced test version of Windows XP's successor has leaked onto the Web, and analysts say it indicates that Microsoft has stepped up work to deliver the new operating system.
Microsoft aims to integrate fundamental changes and upgrades in the next version of its Windows operating system. We take an early look at the alpha version.
