preview of windows longhorn supposed to be windows 2005 http://www.networknews.co.uk/Products/Software/bigpic/1141829
i have a few different builds/milestones of longhorn but cant get any of them to run succesfully , ive also heard that unless your running a minimum of a 3.2 athlon then longhorn will run like a bitch , cos the code is still so bloated !! Mind u final versions of norton 2004 and office 2003 are running a treat on my pc !! ...fidds....
nah - it runs OK - thing is they are very very early builds atm - cant be used for anythin more to have a quick look cos VERY buggy.... stay well clear till around RC1 norton 2004 n office 2003? pfft - they are well old now
Very true , like everytime i buy new pc bits , there like so out of date and about 90% cheaper the following day/week !!! ...fidds...
lol - totally!!!! i used to mess about with daily builds of new os' n shit - but soon got bored now just wait for final/damm near final builds before i even touch em
i well fooked my o/s with the 1st build of longhorn like , tried an over the top of xp install ( wot a daft arse i am ) ended up in a right state , spare hard drives are for that malarky these days like !!! ..fidds...
upgrading ANYTHING is a no-go - never ever do upgrades - fresh installs r the only way if u wanna mess with beta stuff get another box....or even still - if u got a decent spec machine...use vmware - trial the new stuff on virtual machines.....nice n clean..
Looks like a skin you can get for Windows XP! I didnt realise Longhorn was real? I thought it was some skin a geek made up for XP lol. What is it then?
its a serious contender for the next major microsoft release... its definatly not a skin and the thing u see above will probably be a million miles away from what they release as the cosmetics always change
there is a "skin" u can get to make xp look like longhorn like but its not much cop really , i had it on b4 but changed back to normal xp !!!! ...fidds...
3Gb install and a database-driven desktop file system - hhmmm.... will have to wait a couple of years to find out...
