Microsoft Longs for Longhorn
Posted January 2nd, 2003 @ 06:10pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Two articles, this one and this one talk about Microsoft's Longhorn. Apparently (go figure) it's run into some problems. The second article mentions the fact that thousands of engineers are working on Longhorn. Thousands. I guess each is responsible for writing their own major bug, with incentives going to those who take the time to wrote two or more… 😉
At any rate, moving the filesystem to a database (would there still be "files" per se? I dunno) has proven more difficult than they initially expected. Maybe we'll find out in 200…8?
