well found some info i do not like at all
The successor to Windows XP (due in 2004, and rapidly slipping to
2005) is currently code named Longhorn, and it will not be
compatible with your existing software, hardware or methods.
Microsoft has already stated that backward compatibility will
not be a design feature.

TODAY'S TOURBUS TOPIC: Beyond 2003 / Web Site Optimizatio
http://tourbus.com
On with the show ...
Today's post is going to be a little more serious than usual. No
"poke the bunny" or "zombo.com." Instead, we're going to look at the
future of Microsoft and at a new book that may forever change the way
you create Web pages.

Microsoft: 2003 and Beyond
--------------------------
I'd bet anything you've never heard of Andrew Grygus or his company
Automation Access. That's about to change.
Back on February 23rd, Grugus posted an editorial titled "2003 and
Beyond -- Technology trends that will affect your business and how you
do business." You can find Grygus' editorial on the Automation Access
site at
<A HREF="http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html">
http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html </A>.
Predicting the future is almost always a fool's errand [flying car,
anyone?] But, using research and news articles from hundreds of
different sources, Grygus wrote an 50+ page editorial that offers an
in-depth, ten year look at information technology in general and
Microsoft in specific. As Gryus notes,
This article is a guide to trends that are already in full motion
and well known by technology specialists, but are far from
obvious to most business managers.
I take exception with Grygus calling "2003 and Beyond" an article. It
isn't an article, it's an editorial. Granted, it's an exceptionally
well researched editorial [the bibliography is *ELEVEN* pages long],
but it's an editorial nonetheless.
Grygus adds that
Much of this article deals specifically with Microsoft and
Microsoft's future. This is inescapable, because Microsoft is a
huge part of the information industry - and aspires to being all
of it.
And therin lies the problem. The last seven words of that quote show
that Grygus isn't particularly a lover of Microsoft, and he allows his
anti-Microsoft, pro-Open Source/UNIX viewpoint to seep into his
"article" from time to time. In more than one place in his editorial,
Grygus is long on accusation and short on substantiation.
All that aside, Grygus' "2003 and Beyond" is one of the most important
things I have read in a LONG time. It's no "Crime and Puzzlement,"
mind you, but "2003 and Beyond" does give a frightening and eye-
opening look at Microsoft's public plans over the next decade.
Here is a small example of why I think Grygus' 50+ page editorial is a
must-read:
The successor to Windows XP (due in 2004, and rapidly slipping to
2005) is currently code named Longhorn, and it will not be
compatible with your existing software, hardware or methods.
Microsoft has already stated that backward compatibility will
not be a design feature.
Here's another one:
Office 2003 and Windows Sever 2003 will include a Rights
Management Services feature for document security. ... If
Microsoft can convince businesses to use this feature, Office
2003 documents will be completely unreadable by OpenOffice /
StarOffice, WordPerfect Office, Lotus, and by all older versions
of Microsoft Office, forcing a total upgrade of Windows, Office
and the computers it runs on.
If your reaction to either of these quotes is "whoa!" -- or if you are
in ANY way, shape, or form involved with computers and information
technology -- you NEED to take an hour out of your day and read Andrew
Grygus "2003 and Beyond" at
<A HREF="http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html">
http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html </A>.
Regardless of whether you agree with Grygus' anti-Microsoft rhetoric
and conclusions, I promise that "2003 and Beyond" is an eye-opening
editorial.

Microsoft Longhorn, 3GIO to change PC rules
No backwards compatibility claim
By Mike Magee: Friday 28 June 2002, 15:02
A SOURCE CLOSE to Intel and Microsoft's plans tell us that plans are well advanced for the successor to Windows XP.
But the source, who works for a third party vendor, tell us that Microsoft will make the bold – perhaps foolhardy step – of making Longhorn incompatible with all previous operating systems.

The Next Major Update for Windows
Windows "Longhorn" is the next major release of the Windows Operating System. "Longhorn" was first announced in 2001. This article will preview some of the new features you can expect to see in "Longhorn".

Windows "Longhorn" FAQ
Once envisioned as a minor upgrade to Windows XP, Windows "Longhorn" took on all-new importance in early 2002 when Microsoft decided to reach for the brass ring and make this upcoming Windows release an all-encompassing major upgrade with a new security architecture called Palladium, a 3D-enabled user interface, and brand-new, database-based file system, and many more exciting new features. Here's the first--and most comprehensive--Longhorn FAQ ever created, constantly updated to include the latest information about this release
