If you wanna d/l it make sure you set up a new partition to install it in (use partition magic).
At the moment Longhorn is in an alpha stage and you can not install any software or set up a dial up connection so its kinda useless as an os (apart from evaulation)!

Yes it does have a pretty gui but the main reason for M$ producing it is for the support of 64bit cpu architecture.

OMG this damn question has been asked to many times and the answer is no.

It is alpha and is buggy as f*ck. Dont make the mistake as installing as main OS some ppl have done tha and complain about many of the problems it has.

If u really want to use it install on a seconf partition and dual boot and just try it out.

Wait for at least beta!

If ya got 2 computers, give it a try otherwise, not worth the hassle (unless it impresses the ladies, of course...)
