Ode To Longhorn

Transmissible data flowing out violet blue ports,
My types are all hidden, only schemas export.
Pixilated scenes replaced by vertex shaders,
My side-bar includes fancy blog aggregators.
With left angle brackets I declare gradient fills,
We are long past the choice between red or blue pills.

Longhorn release: how long will you be?
I need to start planning my new hardware spree.
