Windows XP vs. 2k

Where did you find that out at?  Is it being built off the NT kernel?

Microsoft has stated many times that they've finally killed off the win9x codebase.

If you follow the Microsoft kernel development newsgroups, it's fairly clear that Longhorn is like NT in kernel mode, rather than like win9x.

i wasn't thinking it was win9x code at all..  it wouldn't be a very good os IMO if it was..  but i thought it was being built from scratch with a brand new kernel because microsoft has also stated they plan to develop a new series of windows with longhorn technology (desktop os, server os, etc. in addition to software like internet explorer, microsoft office, etc.)
