Microsoft has recommitted to releasing Longhorn, its next-generation Windows client and server, into beta testing in 2005 even though its chairman acknowledged that security concerns threaten his dream of enabling seamless connectivity and Web services.
Microsoft detailed efforts to enhance Windows connectivity by means of the Devices Profile for Web Services specification, enabling Web services to link smart devices, and USB Flash Drive technology for simplifying wireless network security. He acknowledged that enhancing connectivity does add new security concerns, but said Microsoft and its partners will make it work.
