-{ Quote: "Gates primes the pump for Longhorn

Microsoft will probably ship the client version of Longhorn before its server counterpart, says Bill Gates.
This tentative prediction was made in Gates's rallying call to software developers to get behind the next version of Windows, at the Developing Software for the future Microsoft Platform in London yesterday. Even though Longhorm isn't due until 2006, Microsoft used the conference to build developer enthusiasm ("prime the pump") for the next version of Windows, which promises substantial architectural changes.
Longhorn's major features include a revamp of the presentation layer (codenamed Avalon), a radical restructuring of the file system (WinFS) and far deeper integration of Web services technology (Indigo).
