On Microsoft Longhorn

Just a thought, all this talk about Intel and hardware. The question comes to mind, is the long delay to the release of Longhorn really due to software development?

Or is it to stretch the current hardware platforms running XP at customer sites and homes to the breaking point where everyone will have to upgrade hardware just to get Longhorn, without it looking like Microsoft is requiring the hardware upgrade to get Longhorn to run?

Makes sense, Microsoft sense.
