Microsoft: Yukon delay won't impact Longhorn
ENT News | at | by Mike
The official line out of Microsoft is that delays in the SQL Server roadmap will not affect delivery of the "Longhorn" version of Windows. Longhorn contains a storage technology, called Windows Future Storage, or WinFS, that is shared technology with the Yukon database.
Tom Rizzo, director of SQL Server product management for Microsoft, flatly asserts that, although Longhorn shares technology with Yukon, the Yukon delay doesn't equal a delay for Longhorn. "There's no butterfly effect," Rizzo says.
