by the time it's released, it'll only be an operating system for 3 or 4 years, just like all their other ones in fact...

Actually, Calum, Steve is right.  Longhorn will be a platform for the next 10 years.  Then a major upgrade to existing technology for the next 10 years.  Then a service pack and some security fixes to XP SP2 for the next 10 years.  Then a can of Ortho Weed-B-Gone and some moldy cheese for the next 10 years.  Get where I'm going with this?  :D

Also, Sime, Longhorn may be big - but then, size isn't everything. :D

Why not call this "upgrade" Dolly because it is practically cloned from every other OS and everybody who

MS relys heavily on sheep, the rely on the fact that everyone will now follow everyone else and use Windows thats how they keep their monopolt position.
