Longhorn cada vez mais fácil de usar

O mais atual build do Longhorn, apresentado na WinHEC 2004, se mostrou mais estável e completa do que os antigos build do sistema, mas para rodá-lo plenamente, um hardware potente será necessário. Previsto para 2006, o Longhorn trará uma engine gráfica totalmente redesenhada (Avalon), um novo sistema de armazenagem (WinFS) e comunicação (Indigo), além de uma nova arquitetura de drivers. O Longhorn apresentado na WinHEC também está disponível para parceiros MSDN no endereço www.msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn.

The latest build of the client operating system is richer and more stable, but it will require heavy-duty hardware.

In the opening keynote address at WinHEC, held earlier this month in Seattle, Microsoft Corp. Platforms Group Vice President Jim Allchin focused on Microsoft's desire to provide rich, new Windows experiences, a goal that the company plans to realize in its next-generation client operating system, code-named Longhorn.

When it ships, probably late in 2006, Longhorn will feature dramatically redesigned graphics (Avalon), storage (WinFS) and communication (Indigo) subsystems, as well as a new driver model—all of which are intended to contribute to a client operating system that's significantly more stable, more useful and easier to develop for than Windows is today. eWEEK Labs had the opportunity to gauge Microsoft's progress when we tested Build 4074 of Longhorn, which was distributed to WinHEC attendees. (The build is also available to MSDN subscribers at www.msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn.)
