One thing is clear: Microsoft's developers have apparently thrown down the gauntlet in       developing new built-in graphics rendering tools that -- if integrated into the                 next-generation Windows operating system now called Longhorn -- could effectively            force Flash and Director out of Windows desktops.

Competing product for flash.  Integrated into .NET runtime framework and therefore Longhorn.

Of course, not available for Linux.  If it's .net, it won't be available for macintosh.

I wonder if it can only be served by a MS server.

Yes, but by whom?  Remeber, as part of the settlement, the DOJ agreed to never again sue MS for bundling stuff into the OS.  

The DOJ essentially gave MS a licence to do the same stuff they were getting sued over (and found guilty of, even in the court of appeals).

Sounds like the ordinary FUD from Microsoft. It will never catch on with the professional graphics workers.
