After a week to think about it, The Gang digs deeper into the ramifications
of Microsoft's announcements re Longhorn. The stock market didn't
react at all. (Perhaps because the implications are too long term.)
How will it affect the reseller channel? Does this give the storage
vendors an opening to sell platform-independent file systems? Does
this level the playing field for alternative user interfaces or
will Avalon/XAML become the de facto standard for the Windows world?
Michael Vizard, editor-in-chief of CRN Magazine, joins The Gang
this week.
