Looks like right now the "interface" is just a different skin.
There is a Longhorn IE beta out now.

lol, i dont see why you guys are drooling over longhorn... its probably 95% XP... they only added some security things into it... the same could be done by YOU on XP - download the patches...

oh, they changed the internet explorer logo too if thats of any interest... <_<

When "officially" released, I can count on getting a copy and an unlimited use corporate key through my mothers place of employment. She has friends in their I.T. department.

...just wanted to express that for bragging rights, of course. :D

That&#39;s nice but:

Those screenshots are damn old.
That is only a TEMPORARY interface.
Longhorn isn&#39;t just an upgraded XP. There are A LOT of changes being made to it. Go read up on them...

i heard that there putting in anti piracy features in IE to check if ur d/l any thing illegal, and M&#036; can see what ur doing at anytime they want...no more privacy <_<

Longhorn has limited the users control over the OS so people cant mess with it.. but thats what I&#39;ve heard around this forum and some other places.. i think it is true...?

That&#39;s also very illegal...

very true the digital privacy act says so, but I also heard that they found a way to do it... I currently don&#39;t think they can.. but if they do I will be go all the way to linux... and i won&#39;t look back...

Sony tried something similar to prevent hackers on EverQuest. They would randomly scan people&#39;s processes to see if anything looked like a hacking tool. People took Sony to court and won because it violated the constitutional right to privacy.
