We’re getting demos and hype of Microsoft’s upcoming LongHorn operating system. Some of the buzz would put me to sleep if it weren’t so pitiful. E.g.:
“For example, saving a file in Longhorn brings up fields for user-defined file metadata such as the author, the title of a document, the date of creation, the document's category, and keywords; if completed, these metadata fields can later be used to speed up and improve searches. By displaying the fields instead of hiding them in a Properties dialog box as Windows currently does, Longhorn presumably will encourage users to supply the metadata.”
Your word processor already has these fields. Do you fill them out? Would you fill them out if no one were pointing a gun at you? What a pointless idea.

On the other hand, Longhorn will allow you to make screen icons so large you can actually see them on a high resolution screen. That would have been a great idea in 1995, and it’s still a great idea.
