Right, my post mentioned Longhorn, and you replied with Yukon and Whidbey. Whidbey and Yukon are slated for the second half of 2004, as is Europa, but Longhorn is after that. It is likely that Europa will release before Whidbey and Yukon, none are in beta yet so we will have to see. We are extending the quality control cycle for Europa 3 months longer than usual to have Europa release as if it included SP1. Of course any of the release dates could change in the future.
