If your not connected to the net, they can&#39;t track anything.

Once LH is released, I&#39;m sure there will be a few underground patches to &#39;enhance&#39; it. Anyways. by 2005, linux is likely to have out done Windows. Anyone who has used recent versions of the better linux distros will know that linux is getting to be a very nice OS, nearly as good as XP. AS mentioned, the main problem is compatability with windows software.

Microsoft are taking a large gamble by releasing LH, it will be interesting to see how (un)popular it will be.

What do you mean If you are not connected to the net they can&#39;t track anything. Is that not the Point of having a computer? Do some reading on LongHorn,Blackcomb and you will quickly see there is no hack to go around the fritz chip. It notifies Micro&#036;oft if that happens and they delete your files. Welcome to the future&#33; Yes we all need an OS that can do the things that Micro&#036;oft does but I am not sure that will come along very fast. This is a multi- Billion dollar industry and its very hard to change. We have all heard of cars that can get 100 miles to the gallon but do you see one for sale? No because there is too much money in Oil. Linux is also being attacked by Micro&#036;oft and we all know why. Micro&#036;oft wants to control the planet and it is happining right under our noses.

You can&#39;t expect patches to be released before th os&#33; Anyway, no one has anything worry about, as you could stick with your current OS or switch to linux&#33;

Microsoft is wants to control everything you do on and off the internet and their very successful at it&#33;

Wizzandabe when you have finished the download,burn it onto cd.
Eject the copy from your cdrom drive.Put the kettle on and make a
lovely cup of coffee.Put the said cd from your drive on a level surface
and land your coffee cup on top.
Thats about all Windows Foghorn is worth at the moment.

If people are worried about microsoft spying on them, then move to any part of the E.C. (Including the U.K.) and sue them&#33; I am always amazed that the U.S. has virtually no data protection laws. Europe is still half way through the anti-trust debate as far as Micro&#036;oft is concerned - anyone know any info on this?

When you say the fritz chip im assuming you mean palladium.

You should fear this because if you do not have this chip on your pc then you will not be able to acess pcs with it.
So say all new pc&#39;s come with longhorn and fritz without this chip you will not be able to connect.

I can see advantages for business. This will make security alot easier since no processes will be aloud unless given permission. A bit like your firewall stopping things asking for internet acess fritz will stop programs running unless given permission.
