> When I see the beta of Longhorn (due later this year), I will examine it carefully
> to see how much of it is implemented with .NET. I suspect very little will be.
> Here are some clues to look for: If Longhorn does not implement the shell, or will not
> allow you to extend the shell with .NET, then Microsoft has clearly lost their confidence.
> If Longhorn does not implement any services in .NET, then they will indicate (as I do) that
> .NET is not the right technology for running under the privileges of the LOCALSYSTEM account.
