New features in the next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, will drastically simplify the development of applications for the forthcoming operating system, Jim Allchin, Microsoft group vice president of platforms, said during the first official demonstration of the software Monday.
Key advancements to Longhorn that address development challenges previously present in earlier Windows versions will be included in a new presentation framework, code-named Avalon, and a new communications layer, code-named Indigo, Allchin said.
