A smaller company, Alacritech, has sued Microsoft and obtained an injunction against the software giant to prevent MS' usage of networking protocols belonging to Alacritech as part of Longhorn's communication packages.
It is unknown at this time what effect this will have on Longhorn's release date or it's constitution. What is known is that the increased communications capabilities are near the heart of what MS will put forth as reason to upgrade to Longhorn from XP. How big a blow this is can be debated. That it is damaging is a certainty. Look for frantic, big bucks negotiations for licensing.
