Yeah it does
This whole problem is due to the 16 bit offset, the fact that 32 bit was built on top of it and so is 64 bit.
Only metro with the .net framework as the substructure which is a paradigm shift from the 16 bit offset; will software advance - therefore the desktop is a piece of sh*t.

1) You can build metro apps using native C++ code without going through the .net framework
2) You can use the .net framework to create either metro apps or desktop apps
3) Code using the .net framework is subject to the same Win64 address space limitations as any other process running on the machine
Whether you like it or not, the desktop isn't going anywhere

1) applications use metro and have to use these libraries, use whatever language you want
2) metro is the .net framework as an operating system (not limited by OS), .net framework is an add on to the desktop (limited by OS)
3) in windows 8 the desktop is an application of the metro memory address space.
The desktop is a piece of sh*t.

I think your obvious enthusiasm for metro is great, but I'm not sure you fully get how the pieces go together. I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree

I am telling you how it works.

If windows 9 has no desktop, I'll buy a Mac and register to iCodeProject...
I don't believe a second the desktop is going away! not now, not in the next 5-10 years.
The desktop is where the vast majority of business softwares run. Business is where Microsoft makes more than 55% of its income!
Unless Microsoft suddenly decides they want to die overnight there's not a chance they dump the desktop in the short to medium term!
Windows 8 was another Vista disaster, I doubt Windows 9 will be Vista 3.0!!

Longhorn was the code name of Vista. I have the beta.

Chicken before the egg.
Longhorn is an operating system without purpose created right out of the box with the .net framework 1.1.
Vista is an attempt to make money off an incomplete project, and is the only reason it failed.
Windows 8 is also longhorn.
I was trained by Microsoft in 2002 in .net 1.1 before it was publicly released, we used to say longhorn, in it for the long haul.

If you didn't notice the article does not say longhorn is vista. thanks for playing.

Longhorn is an incomplete operating system.
Vista takes Longhorn and turns it into an operating system but vista is not longhorn, its an attempt to sell the project.
Get over yourself.

Why are you being so rude and confrontational?
You are not the only person who knows someone who works at Microsoft or knows the history of operating systems. The fact is that Longhorn was the code name for the release that was scheduled between Whistler and Blackcomb. Whoever told you otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

I never said that it wasn't a codename, what I am saying is that it is different from vista.
How do I know this because I was trained internally by Microsoft in 2002-2004 on dot net 1.1 and its attempt to turn it into an operating system.
Longhorn was an operating system used by people, other code name projects only went as far as beta testing.

They're calling it "threshold", apparently.
I'll wait until they've gone all the way through the door, before I spend any time considering a purchase.

I don't care if you purchase it

I couldn't care less that you don't care.
Unless you're an illiterate American, of course, in which case I could care less.

I do not care is zero caring, I could care less, would mean to say I have caring and the possibility of me to care less is there, but what I think you mean to say is I couldn't care less, which could mean zero caring but it is also a phrase with a reference to how I currently care about something, but when I say I don't care - the amount I care is clear.

I don't need to be told what I want to say; I know that with high precision.
My comment simply indicates that illiterate Americans obviously do not know what they are saying.
