Meanwhile, here's what we know (more or less) in terms of what Microsoft's promising for Longhorn - based on info Microsoft shared at WinHEC, plus tips from some of our best tattlers.
Natural-language query capabiities. No longer will users have to go on lengthy (and often fruitless) quests for files and data stored on their PCs, local networks and/or the Web. Instead, they will be able to type in commands (such as, "Find all the spreadsheets I generated last year that included sales data from Bob Jones"), and Longhorn will auto-magically return the results
Yeah, Right.

It has been 'the next big thing' for over a decade now. The cynic in me says don't hold your breath. Each generation of speech interfaces have been hyped as actually functional but consistently failed to deliver.
