Steve over at AWorldofHelp has gone to WinHEC & conquered the masses. Um... ok, maybe not, but he's certainly posted a very comprehensive overview of the upcoming MS OS release, codenamed "Longhorn."

"I've been using the Longhorn Build released at WinHEC for a little while now, and I'll get to my thoughts on it at the end of the article. For now, I want to cover the basics of Longhorn, and bring you up to speed on its key features and the hardware you'll need to run it."
