Microsoft's "Longhorn" vaporware OS looks even further off

Having allowed Windows XP to stagnate and rot on users' desktops for years, Microsoft's been talking up "Longhorn", their code-name for the follow-up version that will supposedly cure all of Windows' woes. Longhorn's been delayed repeatedly, and today, the industry press is reporting that Yukon- the database storage technology that will play a key role in Longhorn- has itself been pushed further back from release. Which will certainly have a negative impact on Longhorn's release schedule.

If Longhorn ships before the second half of 2006, I will be shocked.
