I just got an e-mail from Microsoft’s PR agency alerting me to big news about Longhorn that will be released tomorrow at 6 AM PDT.
I have no idea what it is, but here’s a clue: The URL contains the acronym LHMA. I suppose that could stand for Longhorn Media Announcement, but maybe it’s Longhorn Media Access or Longhorn Might Arrive.
Fortunately, I’m an early riser, so I’ll pass along the news as soon as I have it.
(Oh, and I got my beta invite.)
Update: ActiveWin, via Chris Lanier, says the new is that Longhorn has a name: Windows Vista.
I’ll sleep better tonight.
Last night, Mary Jo Foley said the announcement is that Longhorn will be named Windows Vista. It’s after 6am and the announcement isn’t up on the press pass site yet.
It’s up now, with a hokey short video too:
