Yes sorry Not Advanced server its Just Windows 2003 Server

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.



Picky arent we and no I aint installed it yet

Nobody has it. They are not even beta testing it yet. If there IS an actual Alpha version out there it is most likely either fake, a virus, a trojan, a half assed crack or malware. Sign up to become a beta tester and if you get picked they'll send you a copy. I would NEVER in a million years install a OS from Kazaa. You're better off throwing your PC in the trash.

Nobody has it? MUWHAHAHA! - Get your facts straight before you say anything. Ive been running longhorn for like a year now dude. Also for your information, Microsoft is giving longhorn to the developers at PDC... PDC is in like 2 days.

Edit: Typo

Just because you have it doesn't mean you got it from a legit source. There's always someone out there with cracked/hacked versions of everything. It's called WAREZ and personally I wouldn't use ANY OS or major application on Kazaa.

trying an alpha version of an os sounds too risky to me.

i cant immagine an alpha version from microsoft has to be pretty bad going by all the problems they have when they release stuff

put it this way...i know lots about my enemy

first my opinion:  longhorn is gonna be the demise of microsoft, this is when people are gonna realize "thats expensive and it sucks at the same time".  alternatives (not necessairly (sp) linux) are going to start to become popular at this time.


requirements:

3 ghz minimum, 4-6 (nonexistant) recommended for decent performance

2 gig of ram *minimum

1gigabit ethernet built in (sounds like a ploy for propriteary parts )

a wireless 802.11g receiver built in (more proprietary parts?)

and graphical cards that have 3 times the preformance of those on the market right now.

up to a terabyte for the storage (currently possible but very expensive with raid and such)


i wonder how much that theoritical system costs? lemme guess, all intel components?

its scheduled to release in 2006, which they had to drop WinFS from the plan to meet that date.  What are they gonna use NTFS? thats efficient

I've only heard bad things about it.  About four months ago, I vowed to switch to Linux before Longhorn came out.

I've been MS free since 6.25.04

first, u can get leaks of longhorn off bittorrent sites, lotza em out there and longhorn has been in testing for a longgggg while

and the whole MS bashing... its just getting old... MS has advantages, linux has advantages and Mac has advantages... windows is still the best gaming platform out there BY FAR, while linux provides stability and Mac provides sum awesome video and multimedia editing power

Windows, we'll say its best for gaming, not BY FAR.  Half the games i've got running over wine (NOT cedega, therefore less directx support) run better through linux. Examples: Morrowind gets 50-100 better fps, and starcraft is noticably faster in loading.  b ut then again i have a gaming-sources kernel.

Granted windows has better gaming preformance on most games.
