Microsoft first started talking publicy about Longhorn in 2003. While rumours have been around for 2 years already then, they promised to integrate not only a 3D-interface or other exciting technologies but also a new file system, called WinFS, as well as the communication subsystem “Indigo”. But along the road we’ve lost WinFS, which was postponed to a date after the initial Longhorn release, and we’ve won Indigo, which is now available for Windows XP. You might ask the justified question “Why would I want to wait for Longhorn at all?”. The answer is quiet simple: Because Longhorn will be more than just an all round update of the user interface. There will be huge steps toward a secure environment which is virtually impossible to integrate into today’s Windows XP. Yet, Windows-Tweaks in this extensive guide shows you how to reach into the future and get not only the most modern Longhorn styles but also tools that will give you Longhorn’s functionality today! |
