Yes.. but what does it "really" mean? Ok, Avalon and Indigo on WinXP/2003. Still no word on WHEN we can use them on WinXP and 2003 .. are we still talking 2006 (not beta, release) .. if so, what's the big deal? It's still over 2 years away (2006 for Microsoft means before December 31, 2006 .. and maybe a few months later).

“Avalon” and “Indigo”, will also run on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Wonderful new Soma.

Yeah, none of this was clear coming out of the announcement, but did become clear later in the day.

Personally I'm excited about this, it gives us a smoother transition from the current generation of OS's to the "next" without the disruptive type of upgrade Windows 95 gave us.

Well done. My only fear is that WinFS will get pushed back too far. But, I'm really hoping that doesnt' happen.

For everyone, it means “keep writing managed code on the .NET Framework today.”

Of course. I mean after all we would not want people to keep writing for the Win32API or for a POSIX API so you could port your application to Linux via Wine or Cygwin.

God forbid ReactOS is ready before Longhorn features are ready.
