ronniekray's Journal: Microsoft takes aim at Longhorn Reloaded, and shoots it dead

Attempts to revive a version of Vista, complete with WinFS, have been shot through the head by the Microsoft legal machine http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry1521.html It should come as no real surprise that the Longhorn Reloaded project is officially dead. "To put the projects aims simply, we aim to finish off what Microsoft started before the operating system was canceled. It is a modification of Windows 6.0.4074, which was originally released during the 2004 Windows Hardware Engineers Conference" says the project blurb. It was doomed to failure from the get go. Did anyone seriously think that Microsoft would allow an early Vista Beta to be promoted, distributed and lauded? Still, it is a shame though.
