For those that want to play with a preview release of Avalon (the November Community Technology Preview) and the WinFX SDK fire up your browser download the preview for XP. Will also run on Server 2003.
Be warned, it weighs in at 261450 KB and is guaranteed to be buggy and unstable. I suggest installing it in a VMWare session.
Hopefully that will help tide you over for the long wait for Longhorn. The latest news puts a beta of Avalon and the first beta of Longhorn due next summer. The final versions of Longhorn and Avalon are expected in the second half of 2006. It was originally scheduled for last year and the feature list has been reduced since then.
