InformationWeek > Operating Systems > Gartner: Longhorn Delays Will Affect Windows Upgrades > December 11, 2003: “The IT advisory firm expects the operating system to be released between late 2006 and mid-2008, but that the release could be delayed even more.”

Longhorn: 2008. Reserve your copies today. Oddly enough, regardless of the release date, there are already 12 security patches to download and upwards of 1500 viruses that target it.


It will be interesting to see how the industry unfolds between now and 2008. Linux will be desktop friendly. Mac OS Z will be released. And BSD will still be dying.
