] At Microsoft's Management Summit (MMS) in Las Vegas, the ] Longhorn floodgates opened, with executives from Steve ] Ballmer to Bill Gates talking about what users can expect ] from the new system. Much of the focus has been on ] usability enhancements, with Ballmer claiming it would ] take 70 percent fewer reboots than previous Windows ] versions. To date, Microsoft has been releasing details ] about its Longhorn product line ahead of anticipated ] release dates. The latest news is that Microsoft will ] ship 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Longhorn. Until ] recently, the company had not decided whether it would ] offer a 32-bit version of the operating system. The more secure a system, the less usable it is. If you don't believe me, unplug your network card and see how many hackers can get into your system. On the flip side you won't be sending any email. So if Microsoft's focusing on Security AND Usability - do those cancel eachother out only to suggest that Microsoft is working on nothing?
