What is Longhorn? Microsoft release Longhorn as the codename for a major wave of technology and platform software. This generation of software will include new versions of Windows, Windows Server, .NET, MSN, Microsoft Office, and other products.
Windows "Longhorn" is the next major desktop Windows release, which will follow Windows XP; there is also a minor Windows Server revision that will ship in the Longhorn wave. Originally expected to be a fairly minor upgrade, Windows Longhorn will now include a number of new features including a revised task-based (or "iterative") user interface, an extensible, dock-like, Sidebar, and a SQL Server 2003-based storage engine called WinFS (Windows Future Storage).
Windows Longhorn is also come in different editions like Windows XP, though they might change from today's Home, Professional, Tablet PC, Media Center, 64-Bit Professional (Itanium), Professional Edition x64, and Embedded Editions. For example, I'm expecting the capabilities of today's XP Media Center Edition to be incorporate into Home Edition or, perhaps, a high-end version for home that might be called Premium Edition.
Longhorn offers some features such as a task-based (or "iterative") interface, 3D video hardware to render special effects, Palladium security technology, new anti-virus (AV) APIs, integrated recordable DVD capabilities, an advanced version of the successful Error Reporting Tool (ERT) that shipped in Windows XP, a new Setup routine that installs the OS in about 15 minutes, and hundreds of new APIs that will let provide access to the new system's features.
Longhorn Alpha, Longhorn Alpha Build 4008, and Longhorn Alpha Build 4015 are Longhorn editions.
