Microsoft declined to disclose the specific date of Longhorn release

John Connors, Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft, the speech entitled "innovative means" confirms that new products and new technologies will continue to generate continuously in the next few years.

 

However, when the next generation of major Windows versions is approaching, the "future" becomes a key word at the Annual Financial Analysis Conference. Microsoft did not disclose the final release date of longhorn. "Last year, we have made great progress. The next important thing we need to do is to release the test version at a certain time next year. What functional settings are the key and the release schedule will be finalized, "said Bill Gates, chief software architect at Microsoft.

 

"The release is driven by Breakthrough features, and the new features will give us a strong feeling of impact. The beta version may be released at some time next year ." Gates did not promise that the beta version will be released in the first half of next year, as the company claimed last week. If the test version missed the second half of the year, it will have a snowball impact on the overall release time of Microsoft products, and may even exceed the company's product target for 2006.
