Longhorn is the site where it is being developed. Somewhere in Canada, I'm pretty sure.

So many rumors...so little time. I have no idea what it stands for.

Longhorn is just the codename microsoft have given to its next version of windows... it is unlikely to be called longhorn when it comes out comercially!
It follows a tradition whereby works in progress are given a codename... Windows XP was originally called "Whistler" and Windows ME was known as "Georgia"

For a full list of codenames used by microsoft for its windows platforms see:- http://bink.nu/Default.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=8

Longhorn is a new version of Windows that is supposed to use a new type of file storage system.It also improves on device communication in a computer and is also said to be more network-ready than WindowsXP.
