Windows FX?

Posted: 11-22-2003, 06:33 PM
Have Microsoft already announced the name for Longhorn? I have seen 3
references to WinFX in relation to longhorn: there are a few new newsgroups
on the microsoft server and I have also seen the following page on Computer
Manuals' site in the UK:

Windows FX?

What's the hurry?....what ever it is it will not be out
for a year. Lots of things will happen before it is
released. Actually FX is too close to XP to make any
sense.

Greetings

WinFX is a managed (CLR-based) API that extends the .NET Framework. However,
it is accessible via MC++ to unmanaged applications. It encompasses all of
the managed APIs that Microsoft will ship in Longhorn, including Avalon,
Indigo, and WinFS, and .NET Frameworks.

It is broken down in to interface/data/communication layers which are
Avalon/WinFS/Indigo respectively.

WinFX is the heart of Longhorn from which Avalon/WinFS/Indigo will all
follow.
