Pages: 1 2 3  Next -- Posted by ckings6056 at 11:57 am on April 19, 2003 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 -- Posted by vitamin at 7:10 am on April 20, 2003 I heard something about it.... -- Posted by AndreBSD at 10:17 pm on April 29, 2003 Yup.. livingroom system runs the 4015 (M5) build right now, quite an improvement over 3683 (M3) and 4008 (M4) -- Posted by vitamin at 4:28 am on April 30, 2003 Just more crap from Mirosoft// -- Posted by smiley at 5:52 am on April 30, 2003 Yeah, more shit from MS. The Longhorn theme sucks as well. -- Posted by zettahertz at 2:00 am on May 13, 2003 check this forum out for more info regarding longhorn... http://board.iexbeta.com/ibf10/index.php?act=SF&;f=38 I have 4008, but accidently screwed it up and can't use it anymore...  too lazy to find the 4015, no time, AP tests and crap... -- Posted by PiXiE at 7:04 pm on May 20, 2003 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. -- Posted by AndreBSD at 8:49 pm on May 20, 2003 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. -- Posted by vitamin at 12:04 am on May 21, 2003 Yes Its a very naff version At the mo..... I am happy with my win2k..... Just got a copy of Windows 2003 Advance server..... Very Nice -- Posted by AndreBSD at 3:20 pm on May 21, 2003 Quote: from vitamin at 12:04 am on May 21, 2003 Yes Its a very naff version At the mo..... I am happy with my win2k.....

Very Nice 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 (Edited by AndreBSD at 3:22 pm on May 21, 2003) -- Posted by CanesFan100 at 3:05 pm on May 22, 2003 Yeah it requires Pixel shader 2.0 Hardware T&L and a bunch of other crap DX 9 8x agp 64mb vram -- Posted by vitamin at 4:18 pm on May 22, 2003 Yes sorry Not Advanced server its Just Windows 2003 Server -- Posted by AndreBSD at 6:07 pm on May 22, 2003 Quote: from vitamin at 4:18 pm on May 22, 2003 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. -- Posted by XxCrazyDawg69xX at 11:53 pm on May 24, 2003 I've never heard of that. -- Posted by smiley at 8:11 am on May 25, 2003 I'm running Windows .NET Enterprise Server 2003 RC2, yeah, an old beta.. oh well, at least it's free. -- Posted by vitamin at 8:31 am on May 25, 2003 Quote: from AndreBSD at 2:07 am on May 23, 2003 Quote: from vitamin at 4:18 pm on May 22, 2003 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.

Picky arent we and no I aint installed it yet -- Posted by Nameless1 at 5:21 pm on Sep. 9, 2003 best way to make money...put random errors and glitches in the OS...then a few years later (2 or 3) offer to fix them for $$$ windows 95-98 windows 98-2k windows xp-LONGHORN windows LONGHORN - 2k7  :D -- Posted by Froehler at 8:14 am on Sep. 25, 2003 I'm sticking with Windows 2k pro unless it's completely obsolete. -- Posted by johnvosh at 9:19 am on Oct. 10, 2003 Hi, I was wondering if any of you who have used longhorn could please send me alink as to where I can get.  I have been searching around, but can't find it.  my e-mail is: insane9999@hotmail.com Thanks! -- Posted by bababooeey at 7:31 am on Oct. 24, 2003 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. -- Posted by Neko at 6:44 pm on Oct. 24, 2003 Quote: from bababooeey at 7:31 am on Oct. 24, 2003 Nobody has it. They are not even beta testing it yet.

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 (Edited by Neko at 6:46 pm on Oct. 24, 2003) -- Posted by bababooeey at 7:39 am on Oct. 27, 2003 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. -- Posted by Neko at 7:58 pm on Oct. 27, 2003 Quote: from bababooeey at 7:39 am on Oct. 27, 2003 Just because you have it doesn't mean you got it from a legit source.

Actualy I do get my builds from a legit souce, I have family who works in lab6. -- Posted by ckings6056 at 2:05 am on Sep. 15, 2004 there is nothing wrong with WAREZ programs. God damn it, my XP is downloaded off of mIRC servers lol!!!! i've been running it since XP pro first come out, never had any problems with it so far!! :D -- Posted by StTenSk8er at 2:42 am on Sep. 15, 2004 Quote: from PiXiE at 10:04 pm on May 20, 2003 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 -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 12:18 pm on Sep. 15, 2004 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 (Edited by mephisto mortis at 3:19 pm on Sep. 15, 2004) -- Posted by Ich at 1:36 pm on Sep. 15, 2004 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 -- Posted by sasquatch at 5:47 pm on Oct. 3, 2004 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 -- Posted by sriehl at 6:12 pm on Oct. 3, 2004 Quote: from sasquatch at 6:47 pm on Oct. 3, 2004 . . . 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.   Pages: 1 2 3  Next
