Allchin: From Longhorn to Lonestar
C|Net | at | by Mike
While Microsoft won't say when to expect Longhorn, Microsoft Group Vice President Jim Allchin did commit to some interim milestones and promised some other Windows releases along the way.
At the end of his keynote speech at the company's Professional Developers Conference here, Allchin promised that a beta version of Windows would come next summer, but he would be pinned down further. "We're not going to make other commitments of when we are going to get done with this product," he said.
Analysts generally give 2006 as the likely debut date for Longhorn, the next version of Windows.
