This should be interesting, They expect Virtual PC 2007 to "broaden" corporations compatibility options. I wonder how it will affect business's unwillingness to migrate away from MS when they HAVE to migrate from XP to Longhorn AND change at least some of their programs? Of course they could just stay with XP and continue to pay the yearly licensing fees. > > Now I think this is well needed for windows, BUT..... > I cant wait to see what linux and OSS has by the time Windows Longhorn > comes out! > > Travis R. "What hasn't changed is the May 2006 release date: While internal discussions at Microsoft recently questioned whether August 2006 would be more viable, the word has come down from on high: May 2006 is non-negotiable." Am I the only one who thinks that 1. trying to meet a deadline that at least some of their staff think is unreasonable will result in the usual dog's breakfast at the end of the death march? 2.They won't actually make it?
