Longhorn is still far away. It will even have an entirely different file
system the WinFS, based on the upcoming SQL Server release (i do not
remember its codename, my brain is very tired these days :)). It will be
a database file system, that is one will be able to issue queries on it.
My guess regarding managed APIs only support of Longhorn, is that it
probably is part of the Palladium project, in which BillG must know all
of your habbits (because he loves and cares about you as a Father,
that's why) and this can't be done in Win32 API stuff. Longhorn will
also have an advanced video api for amazing graphics.


Expect Longhorn at the earliest in 2004. Imagine what computers we will
have then (it's a century in computer time).
