Windows Longhorn

Just like the description says. ???

I know it's the next Windows, scheduled for release in 2005. I've seen screenshots, but I think they were fake because it looked like Linux skinned to look like Windows. For example the desktop switcher and digital looking clock that are so obviously Linux and not Windows.

Anyway, I was on another verifieds site *gasp* and saw Longhorn Build 4015. Nobody's sharing it right now, but when I get it, I'll post the hash link, if it works.

Is there a better way to get the latest Longhorn build?

Also, for those of you that know it, what does it have that XP Pro/Corp doesn't?

Longhorn is still early alpha. At this stage in devlopement, the only changes seem to be graphical. I've never seen it or used it myself, so I couldn't tell you more. I WOULD download it and try it myself... if I had the diskspace to support another OS installation. ^_^

Oh, I've done dual boot a few times, and only when I'm feeling like a dumbass. I'd wipe my drive, put Longhorn in, try it for a day or two, and then go back.

When I get my new computer and retire this one to being a Linux box, I'll test shit on this computer. Linux seems to work OK on a dual boot, it's Windows that whines about it. (Well, it doesn't, it just performs worse.)

I remember a while ago (a real while ago) some one on the forum downloaded it and tried it out.

Its not fake.

I wouldnt worry about it though because it runs shit since its in alpha stage
