Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week sought to rally the computer industry around its plans for the next generation of Windows, the Redmond company's biggest and most profitable product.
As Microsoft's group vice president for platforms, Jim Allchin is the top executive responsible for that product. In an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in Seattle, Allchin talked about the potential business impact of the next Windows version, code-named Longhorn, and the implications of past delays in its release schedule.
