The website is still around but almost all activity, with the exception of Robert McLaws now and then, has ceased! I find it hard to believe that everyone has stopped developing for Longhorn, especially with the CTP bits released not too far back, and the new CTP bits on the way. Why is it so dead, and is there an alternative that is still thriving?

Consider it ackowlegement that Longhorn is never going to ship. It's the new Netscape 5.

No, no. I have faith! Longhorn will ship, and most probably still in 2006! I'm surprised though that Longhorn Blogs is essentially dead. Word of Longhorn being delayed couldn't have scared everyone off...

You're right, the Longhorn blogs have slowed the reason may be that those developers are just too busy writing code.

It seems a little too dead for people being busy writting code. Someone would update!

Funny, Robert called me this morning and told me that Longhorn Blogs will get a lot more active this summer.

He has a lot of plans as Longhorn comes back out of the shadows.

The lack of activity is due to the fact that Microsoft has basically gone back to the drawing board with Longhorn. When it comes back out over the next few months you'll see a lot more excitement.

Are you able to divulge any of the plans that Robert has for Longhorn Blogs?
