N e one using the long horn beta release ? How does it work ? Is it the same as Windows xp, does the shyt crash on you ?
 
Its not even a beta, its close to a pre-alpha, and also, its illegal so i wouldnt know where to find it let alone use it ;)
 
Yup, unless your an official Microsoft tester, you dont have a copy of Longhorn legally.

If you do have a copy, i'm sure Microsoft will handle any queries you have,
 
first: I know where you could get it
second: I wouldn't get
--reasons: Pre-alpha means many, and I mean many, bugs and securty holes. it's illegal if your not an offical MS tester. it just won't be any good untell the real beta comes out (or, better yet, when it's offically released).
 
...And it would spoil the suprise when they finally release it (tehe):D
 
I tried it and dumped it .. Like stated - Pre-Alpha and to many bugs .. I am looking forward to the final release though ..
 
I tried it and kept it, on it right now as my primary system!
 
I Wouldn't install it on my main system before RC1.
Did the same with WindowsXP :)
 
I only had one HD back when XP was about, and I was quite content with my Win2000 install at the time :)
I think if i had the setup that i do now (2 hdd's each with partitions) I would have probably tried XP before it hit RC stages, because it was a big leap from the Windows we were used to. Longhorn just doesn't appeal to me tho, which is why i want to wait for RC releases.
 
its another cd on my rack :D and thats where it will stay.

it is FAR from usable althought some of the new additions look promising. Gonna have to wait and see though.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
