What's with the two recycle bins Aod(1)? and exactly how big is drive C?

Steve, it looks like c: and D: are on disk with a partition. 60Gb hardrive.

I like how it's looking, but looks and usefulness are two completely different things.

I probably won't buy another OS until whatever comes after Longhorn comes out. I won't even be buying a computer until then.

The the stats are wrong on lonhorns needs if it fits on a 3gb drive. Hmmm, hows the speed of normal operations on it, without a heavy graphics load?

Aod - As has been already stated, that is a BETA that will be more than two years old when Longhorn is released. Therefore, how reliable can it be as a sample of the full OS? As I have said, I don't necessarily believe the specs posted in the article, but a lot can happen in two years in the computing world, so we'll have to wait and see.

I would still love to beta test it. It can't be any worse than a few weeks ago running mandrake 8.1 on an old machine and playing all kind of heck trying to get it off the machine.

Finalday - you could probably download it, just search on google (600Mb Download)

By the time I got it downloaded on dialup, the regular release would probaly be out.

this is the seccond most advanced beta release
the newest has only been sent to microsoft employees

this is around 42% of actual longhorn, the full version
will probably takeup around 7Gb of HDD space.

i am now back as Aod, after Moderator chips (B*stard who
nicked it

) gave it back. Oh and i am sorry for all the
stupid people who followed my example, and got more
people confused. Damn.

and to Taw, yeah, it was menat to be funny, well it was
when i thought of it.

Good to have you both back, now my head can quit spinning, *grabs chair*

Tue May 11, 2004 2:02 pm by Esquilax

AoD - Good. I'll remove you from the black list... for now
