Windows LongHorn!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Longhorn is all purty graphics and very little substance. Sure, it has WinFS, and encryption, but NTFS is more than adequate for the average user. The average user probably doesn't even know what encryption is! As for this "internet explorer integration", why is that necessary? How is tying IE into the OS going to increase performance?

Well, that's about it for now. Sorry, I was a little carried away . And AoD, we're all very happy for you! Tell us how it works out.

I wonder what my learned colleague (Taw) thinks about Longhorn? Hint*

Enjoy, I did a bit of beta testing for XP. Wasn't much fun until they got down to the last few builds.

Actually, longhorn is about right. Either it will be beefy and satisfy people or it will be a lot of Bull.

That simply deserves a LOL!

Longhorn is just the codename for it, they'll give it a more marketable name once it gets closer to release. Like Windows X2P.

Is Wolfy making slightly more sense than usual, or is it just me?

i heard longhorn is being sold on the streets of hong kong for next to nothing, which is hilarous because its beta software. its not even supposed to be released for at LEAST another year. i MOCK the fools who buy it off the black market and then get pissed because its actually rubbish.
