Longhorn in 2006 639
worm eater writes "Microsoft Watch reports that Microsoft officials are now aiming for a 2006 release date for Longhorn, the follow up to Windows XP. Microsoft has been hyping aspects of this OS to its partners since 2001. I'm beginning to wonder if the industry will be in a far different place than Microsoft envisions 3 years down the line."

I beleive this is to ease in to the Blue Screen of Death. When you go from an application packed full of vital data to the BSOD, there is a sinking feeling accompanied by shock.
The new all blue screen will ease you into the BSOD. You might still be angry to lose your data, but heck, the screen was already blue.

To keep up with new hardware, Longhorn will continue to competively use 96% of system resources through such bonus features as antialiasing the clock, folders, the XP search dog, and many more. For very fast computers, Longhorn is dabbling with a groundbreaking antialiasing loop, which, if there is nothing left to antialias, will loop in the background reantialiasing bitmaps that are already smooth.
