Cuts to Longhorn don't faze IT managers
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft's sweeping changes to its next major Windows release are drawing little surprise from enterprise IT departments, many of whom were not counting on the most revolutionary changes promised in Longhorn.
Late last week, Microsoft announced that it was dropping a centerpiece of Longhorn called WinFS (Windows File System) in order to meet its schedule for releasing the desktop version in 2006 and the server version in 2007.
WinFS had been heralded as Microsoft's next-generation storage subsystem for Windows that would improve the storage and retrieval of files.
