| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Windows WinFX Developer Technologies Will Be Made Available For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Microsoft Corp. today announced it will target broad availability of the Windows® client operating system code-named "Longhorn" in 2006, and make key elements of the Windows WinFXTM developer platform in "Longhorn" available for Windows XP and Windows ServerTM 2003. "Longhorn" will deliver major improvements in user productivity, important new capabilities for software developers, and significant advancements in security, deployment and reliability. "Getting 'Longhorn' to customers in 2006 will provide important advances in performance, security and reliability, and will help accelerate the creation of exciting new applications by developers across the industry," said Bill Gates, chairman and chief software [architect]. Microsoft will deliver a Windows storage subsystem, code-named "WinFS," after the "Longhorn" release. The new storage system provides advanced data organization and management capabilities and will be in beta testing when the "Longhorn" client becomes available. | ||

I think this is really good news. Making WinFX available for Windows XP means that software makers can start making WinFX apps in 2006, not wait until 2010 when everyone is running Longhorn or newer!
It is too bad WinFS will not make it into 2006 Longhorn client, but it sounds like they will be adding it to the server and client in 2007. As I have said many times, better late then broken. I hope they at least include some type of enhanced metadata search engine in 2006 to compete with Apple’s Sherlock being added to 10.4. |

| I'm curious...I'm getting the impression that WinFS won't be ready for the initial release, but will be a post-release add-on in a SP or something. Has anyone else seen anything that would support this, or am I trying to read between the lines too much? |

| From what I have read the initial release will NOT have full WinFS support (maybe it will have some cheap single computer nock-off). WinFS in all its glory will be added to the Longhorn Server in 2007 and updated on the client (most likely trough a service pack). |
