Longhorn features not as cut back as previously reported

According to sources at Microsoft, a Business Week report detailing cutbacks in the Longhorn feature set was a bit exaggerated. While it's true that features inevitably get dropped as products get closer to fruition, Microsoft is now saying that none of the features the company demonstrated at PDC 2003 last October will be cut, and that the three main pillars of the product--the Avalon presentation layer, the WinFS storage engine, and the Indigo collaboration bits--will all appear in the next major Windows release as planned.
