Microsoft: Longhorn, not XP SE, is next ... but how?

WinNetMag | at | by Mike

Now that Windows XP SP2 is finally out the door, Microsoft is turning its attention to its next OS releases, which include a minor Windows 2000 service pack, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Server 2003 R2, the next interim Windows Server release. But The next big client release, of course, is Longhorn, and this week Microsoft dispelled (or at least quelled) any rumors that the company may issue a Windows XP "Second Edition" release by stating publicly that its going to "revisit the priorities" in Longhorn and see what it can do to get that oft-delayed release out the door.
