If you're wondering what's happening with Longhorn and whether we'll see Longhorn at WinHEC 2005 then wonder no more. It's not likely that we will see the first beta of Longhorn at WinHEC 2005, however, Microsoft may release a slimmed down M9 build at the conference. As for dates:
- Milestone 9 (platform complete) - 16th March 2005
- Beta 1 - 25th May 2005
- Beta 2 - 12th October 2005
- Release Candidate 0 - 22nd February 2006
- Release Candidate 1 - 12th April 2006
- Release To Manufacturing - 24th May 2006
In another related news, The Inquirer has a story about MS Longhorn and its need for better than entry level graphics cards. This is due to the WGF (Windows Graphics Foundation) which will merge 2D and 3D graphics operations in one, and 3D menus and interfaces that require at least Shader 2.0 compliant cards. Supposedly it will really affect the performance of the new Microsoft OS. |
