Ummmm - where did you get that information that Oracle announced Longhorn? What have I missed?

And further, where could I have gotten the (apparently mistaken) impression that Micorsoft has a new Windows version code-named Longhorn?

Did I misread html//www.infoworld.com/article/03/09/30/HNlonghorn_1.html (NEWS, Microsoft to lift lid on Longhorn OS New user interface likely won't be included in pre-beta release of Longhorn ... A Longhorn beta is planned for 2004. ... )

Are we referring to the same product 'code name'? Are we in the same universe, or has there been a quantum dimensional shift that I've missed?

Seems to me the Microsoft tactics have been relatively successful. Can I assume the 'sentiments' you reference are those found in a typical *n[ui]x shop? Received on Mon Dec 15 2003 - 22:46:51 CST
