it seems to me that microsoft are in danger of repeating what they did with windows before - ie. getting a reasonably decent os working, (here, XP), and then bloating it with "features" which simply cause more instability and rediculous system demands. 98SE was a reasonably rounded os, but they kept adding stuff and what did we end up with: ME - the worst version of windows ever released. it seems to me that longhorn is not going to add anything of value to xp. when xp came out, it was a positive advance because it had genuinely useful additions - it crashes less than 98/ME, it has a built in restore function, it boots quicker, etc etc. personally i dont want more of my desktop space taken up by a sidebar and large html designs in my explorer windows. i chose to revert to the non-sidebared my computer look with xp, because to be honest these "helpful" things simply waste my time, and confuse what i'm looking at. i'm interested to know what people's thoughts are on longhorn, whether it is gooing to actually be useful. well, something to talk about i guess...
