| Abstract: |
If “Longhorn” is next generation of Microsoft Windows, then “Indigo” is the next generation Web Services. In this report we present not only an overview of what “Indigo” is and the benefits it offers, but also the sort of connected application scenarios we might expect to see once “Longhorn” is in place.

At their 2003 Professional Developers Conference (PDC), Microsoft unveiled plans for the next generation of Windows, codenamed “Longhorn”. The first operating system based on the .NET Framework, “Longhorn” is a much more significant upgrade than the shift from Windows 9x to XP which was launched at the last PDC. It remains to be seen whether it will have as significant an impact on the marketplace as Windows 95, as Bill Gates predicts. However, it clearly offers very attractive functionality for both end-consumers and business users alike and offers a platform upon which some highly sophisticated applications can be built. |
