MS-Watch | at | by Mike

Microsoft execs have been reticent to talk about changes that Microsoft is making to Windows' core "Fundamentals" pillar with Longhorn. But on Tuesday, a handful of Microsoft's top Windows Longhorn networking officials opened up a bit.

Led by Jawad Khaki, corporate vice president of Microsoft's networking and devices technologies division, the Microsoft Windows execs participated in an hour-long Web chat on the topic of Longhorn Networking. Ironically, the chat, attended by nearly 300 participants at one point, was plagued by constant connectivity problems. Nonetheless, the execs provided answers to a number of high-level Longhorn networking questions.
