Microsoft's first beta of Longhorn will include a nearly complete version of the product's web services-based communication framework, code-named Indigo.

A Microsoft partner said that engineers working on Indigo had nearly finished their work. "They're not doing a lot of work with new features at this point," said Andrew Brust, chief of new technology at Citigate Cunningham, a consulting company.

Ari Bixhorn, director of web services strategy for Microsoft's platform strategy group, said that the version of Indigo included in beta 1 of Longhorn would closely resemble the product that Microsoft will release to manufacturing, giving developers an opportunity to start building applications using the Indigo programming model. Longhorn is expected to ship at the end of next year.
