Longhorn will probably be the first version of Windows to make use of the Palladium technology, reason enough for me to stay very far away from it...

you do realize that you can change your shell completely in any verson of windows....

You don't have to use explorer.exe, My machine has a profile running a different shell. you can't even tell its windows.

Um.. you've obviously never tryed a shell then.

You can create and use plugins just like with linux GUIs.

You can get an interface just as easy to navigate for Linux or BSD...

You can use all the linux blackbox templates without porting them, and theres no explorer running. Theres lots of customizing involved but once you have it set up it destroys explorer.

Longhorn is actually going to be quite amazing.

Do not forget, the stuff floating around is VERY VERY alpha stuff. The GUI is not even close to finished, it is likely to change a lot.

Longhorn is the FIRST version since windows NT that has a 100% rewritten kernel. Most of the rest of the system is rewritten also. Its looking like it will be a very powerful version.

But lets wait 2 more years and judge it when the first real beta surfaces...

In it's full form, it would give m$ almost complete control over your pc, enabling them to disable programs and documents you have on your pc.
