Longhorn To Focus on Usability, Security
At Microsoft's Management Summit (MMS) in Las Vegas, the Longhorn floodgates opened, with executives from Steve Ballmer to Bill Gates talking about what users can expect from the new system.
Much of the focus has been on usability enhancements, with Ballmer claiming it would take 70 percent fewer reboots than previous Windows versions.
To date, Microsoft has been releasing details about its Longhorn product line ahead of anticipated release dates. The latest news is that Microsoft will ship 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Longhorn.
Until recently, the company had not decided whether it would offer a 32-bit version of the operating system.
