[Scoble] Longhorn (code name for the next version of the Windows client) is about two years away from being released (and that’s if everything goes according to plan — this is still software and software manufacturing is still hard to put on a schedule, especially when you have thousands of employees working on it). So, who should get excited about Longhorn today? ISVs. If you’re an ISV that is going to build software for release in 2005, you’ll want to learn everything you can about Longhorn as soon as you can. Why? Because it’ll be a competitive advantage for you to have your software done and on the retail shelf the day that Longhorn ships. So, if you’re at a company like Adobe, Intuit, AOL, Symantec, UserLand, Google, SixApart, etc, you’ll want to learn about Longhorn now.
