ENT News | News: Microsoft: Yukon Delay Won't Impact Longhorn

ENT News | News: Microsoft: Yukon Delay Won't Impact Longhorn: "Officially the operating system is loosely planned for a 2005 release, but most industry observers expect it in 2006 at the earliest. In light of the latest news, the conventional wisdom is pushing the Longhorn release out to 2007.
But Tom Rizzo, director of SQL Server product management for Microsoft, flatly asserts that, although Longhorn shares technology with Yukon, the Yukon delay doesn't equal a delay for Longhorn. 'There's no butterfly effect,' Rizzo says.
'A lot of those shared technologies are pretty much baked and done. It's shared technology, but it's not full-featured SQL Server. Yukon has a lot more than that,' Rizzo says."
