In a separate address, Microsoft Senior Vice President Will Poole, who oversees the company's Windows Client Business division, discussed various Longhorn features. In addition to discussing Longhorn's Limited user account security functionality, which I initially revealed in my "Road to Windows Longhorn 2005" showcase on the SuperSite for Windows (http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longhorn_preview_2005.asp), Poole talked about how a "virtual registry" feature will provide backward compatibility with legacy applications in the new environment. And he revealed that the game controllers for the next-generation Xbox 2 will be Longhorn compatible, providing a single controller for both video game consoles and PCs.
