Hey,
Have any of you lot heard about the new Windows that is coming out in 2005?
At the moment they are calling it Windwos Longhorn (seems a rather stupid name to me to be honest!)
My mate downloaded it off of Kazaa and had it running on his PC for a couple of months (this was just the Alpha version of it, not completed or nothing). After a while it started running really slow and crappy so he took it off but i am just wondering if any of you use it or have heard about it.
:p

Yup.. livingroom system runs the 4015 (M5) build right now, quite an improvement over 3683 (M3) and 4008 (M4)

Yeah, more shit from MS. The Longhorn theme sucks as well.

i've heard of it. longhorn will not be the final name of it (at least thats what my dad told me). i haven't used it though, trying an alpha version of an os sounds too risky to me.

Heard about it, have it, run it. lol. Nothing special about it till the new gui in M7 though. As for the codename, its a cafe at the bottom of whistler (a mountain) and blackcomb is another mountain name; so it makes sence... As for your friend getting a leaked copy, the latest leak of 4015 runs quite well (it was also used at WinHEC for all demonstrations done by microsoft).. quite frankly the newest builds dont run very well, so if you do want to use it just get M5 4015 and use that for a while.

Now i might belive that, if Windows [Server] 2003 Advance[d] actualy existed.. the following Windows Server 2003 operating systems are available.

Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition (Cant be bought without a server)
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition

Well i guess i feel like being picky, but Windows 2003 Server also does not exist.
Its Windows Server 2003, (Edition name goes here)
Kinda think you would relize that, since if you look at the bootup screen.. it doesnt actualy say "Windows 2003 Server" unless you edited it to do so or for some reason or another; still run a beta copy.
