Longhorn Server Won't Ship Simultaneously with Longhorn Desktop. In the topsy-turvy world of the next Windows Server version ("Will it be Longhorn Server?" vs. "Will it be Blackcomb Server?") comes news that the next version, which will indeed by Longhorn Server, will not ship alongside desktop versions of Longhorn.
This is similar to what happened with the Whistler project, which morphed into separate Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 development paths. Microsoft hopes with Longhorn, however, to get the desktop and server releases a bit closer to each other in order to make life easier on customers. According to current schedules, however, what I call Windows Longhorn (desktop) will ship in late 2005, while Longhorn Server won't hit until early 2006. Since Microsoft likes to keep its server releases about three years apart, that's good timing. But then Microsoft was never one to keep to a schedule

now we know more .........
But seriously Win 95 has to have had the longest life. IT's still used in a great many schools today. My school (Where i teach) only upgraded to XP on the last day of summer term. SO i guess then that it will probably be around 2012 before Longhorn gets installed onto many school networks!
Windows 95 only stayed 3 years without a successor, then there was a new Windows about every year and a half.
Windows NT also had 4 years without successor.
Uh oh! Grammarios!
There obviously going to change more then the basic stuff like they have been doing.
