The main improvement is that Longhorn will be a 64bit OS rather than a 32bit OS.

Will it be true 64-bit, or will it really just be 32-bit with the ability to use 64-bith memory adresses. It's going to be important really soon to have 64-bit memory adressing. The 4 GB memory limit of 32-bit processors is about to reached. I know a friend of mine who runs technical applications on a Dell laptop with 2 GB of memory.
