The Register: Windows Longhorn slips again, becomes megaproject I'm starting to see a lot of press reminscent of the pre-Windows 3.0 Windows-OS/2 debates, with Windows XP playing the part of OS/2 this time. The press is establishing conventional wisdom that Longhorn will be 2005 or later. Guess what happens if everyone believes them, Longhorn comes a year earlier, and is on target?
