Will the general public be able to get this copy of Longhorn? Eager to install it on VirtualPC and have a play with it! Or even Virtual PC 64 and check out the 64bit mode - har!

I know that if you have a xp pro 32 bit non oem key you can upgrade to xp pro x64 for free pretty much. What about people with corp keys? Can they upgrade for free also or how would this work?

Corporate keys or VLK versions, I am sure they will get sent the latest Select copies anyway.

Re: WinHEC 2005 (Apr 25-27, 2005)

O.K. how is the "Instant On" going to work in Longhorn?

And the "Smart Caching" and "Disk Optimization" will function how...?

Oooh and how will this "Windows Diagnostics" feature function in Longhorn... what and how? How indepth will it be?

Yeah, FarCry is definitely 64-bit. They have the farm of 50 or so Alienware boxes running it here. Played on Sunday night with Ryan and the other folks, and again earlier today with Tom (Neowin), Steven (UX.Evolutions) and Rafael (the UXtheme hacker). Was awesome!

Holy crap...I'm actually gaming.
