Currently at the Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference in LA (where the fires are). Longhorn revealed to the world today - the next release of Windows that's as important as Windows95 in terms of new stuff/big changes. Some neat bits in terms of better file system stuff, integration of media, some okay stuff with UI accessibility with X(A)ML and some maybe good stuff with simplifying network accessibility. Developers kit soon to be released; what does this mean for us?

In a few words: know XML, know how to design good user experiences as they'll be more to the fore, understand distributed apps and web services, focus on useful not technology.
