Windows Longhorn Audio/Video User Experience Working with audio and video devices in Windows will be easier in next generation Windows for both application developers and end users. The Audio Video Devices Group in the Windows division is working on both Windows platform and device UI enhancements that will make it easier for users to set up, test, configure, and improve their experiences with speakers, microphones, sound cards, video, and TV tuner cards. This session is an overview of new audio video device support infrastructure and UI that will make AV devices "just work" within Windows and Windows applications. Topics covered include AV device installation, setup, configuration wizards and Control Panels, Windows Volume Control and Application mixing, and an overview of the new Audio Video Preferences Control Panel. |

You're right about the Longhorn alphas just scratching the surface. Longhorn will have a new UI with new features, functionality and underlying technology.
XP got more than new icons and a new Start bar, but there was no need for a complete overhaul of the UI because XP was a point release to Windows 2000. For home users running 9x, it was a major upgrade, but compared to 9x, the UI changes in XP were pretty major. Longhorn is the first major Windows release for the unified codebase, and it will get the UI, and other technology updates, to show it. |

#5, #6 Whilst you are both correct in saying that Linux refers to just the kernel, the majority of people call the whole distribution "Linux".
Why couldn't a kernel have a gui subsystem? or integrated sound support? drivers? tv tuner? Sure it would make it a bloated and poorly designed kernel, but there's nothing stopping you from doing that. |
