Longhorn build 5048 has proven disappointing after a year of anticipation, showing a regression in some aspects. Concerns are raised about its potential shortcomings, highlighting a need for Microsoft to deliver unexpected improvements. Meanwhile, Apple appears to be gaining traction in the market.

Oh, seems I've been right - sorta

Paul Thurrott has some Longhorn ScreenShots too and describes it as .. well.. he hasn't got much positive to say:

I'm reflecting a bit on Longhorn 5048. My thoughts are not positive, not positive at all. This is a painful build to have to deal with after a year of waiting, a step back in some ways. I hope Microsoft has surprises up their sleeves. This has the makings of a train wreck.

Apple seems to gain quite some momentum, I hope they're able to deal with that.
