Microsoft Pushes Back XP Upgrade Rollout From eWeek: Microsoft has pushed back the release of the next version of the Windows operating system, code-named Longhorn, until 2004. In an interview at its 11th annual Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, WinHEC, Jim Allchin, the group vice president of platforms at Microsoft, said that Longhorn was unlikely to ship before 2004. The news represents yet another shift in the roadmap for the Windows operating system. Initially Microsoft planned to follow XP with the version code-named Blackcomb, but that was pushed back when the company decided to introduce the Longhorn release, which was expected to be a relatively minor point release that would hit the market sometime in 2003. But the push back to 2004 comes on the back of delays in the Windows .NET Server family, which will be released to manufacturing late this year and find its way into customer hands in early 2003, as a result of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative. In addition, the company is looking for a longer development cycle for Longhorn, so as to allow for greater feature innovation, Allchin said. Get more details at: eletters1.ziffdavis.com
