Chapter 2 focuses on two points: When planning a distributed application that will take advantage of "Longhorn," software designers and developers need to consider both the application's architecture and the way it is coded. The first chapter section explains the motivation for a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and outlines its fundamental tenets.

The second section discusses managed code, which is the preferred execution model for applications that will run on "Longhorn."
