Last I heard, their next release will be in 2005 with Longhorn.

Yes, I know, I wasn't too sure this bit of information was still under NDA or not... (it was, no kidding) :D

they aren't discontinuing Longhorn :rolleyes:

Lornhorn still has a LOT of development time left, and that is MS' next consumer OS. at least that's what they claim. but they said that about a lot of things. "win98 is the last OS to use the 9x kernal."

I rather heard they were probably not making a "Server" version of Longhorn, while it was originally planned.
