Longhorn Preview

Paul Thurrott has a review on his site of the next version of the Microsoft Operating System. There are a number of improvements that Microsoft is planning with Longhorn, including making it easier to use. Now that is surprising coming from Microsoft as they are largely responsible for the fact that most normal people find computers difficult to use. Looking at the preview screenshots though, did not give me a not of insight into how usable the new interface would be (it does not look too different from XP) but it is certainly good to see an initiative in this direction. Let's wait for a few more builds and see how things progress...
