Longhorn is Microsofts code name for it's next OS. It was supposed to have a revolutioary new file system (as revolutionary as NTFS was to FAT32 (ahem), I forget the name, ) but they have encountered problems. (Release date, has been pushed back several times, latest is March 2006 I believe)
Soooooo basically it is XP with a prettier UI at this point in time.
There is a beta version on the web if you're really keen and want to search for/try it.
