matthewbot 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 You people don't releaze that longhorn is not it's name!! it's code named Longhorn, they probably won't actually call it that. They did it w/ XP too, though I can't remember what it's code name was. Anyway, I have yet to try linux, but I fail to see how it can be more stable the windows, at least on my machine, because I have never gotten a full crash! The worst that has ever happened is a 3rd party app has locked up, and I had to ctrl-alt-del it. As for the visual effects, it's trying to compete with Apple. And for the redesigned kernel and whatnot, it won't be redesigned, or else it wouldn't be backward compatible. It'll probably have a compatibility mode, similar to XP's, where apps not designed w/ the fancy 3D GUI and the improvied process seperation and whatnot can still run. Just my guess, from seeing what they've done w/ XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 Windows XP was a follow-on OS for Windows 2000 and the codename was Whistler. if they hadn't changed it to Windows XP you would be calling Windows 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RGPHNX 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Hey Guys,True; no OS is perfect. Its 6 of one vs. half dozen of the other. Tradeoffs sure. True, linux has a steep "learning curve" & is less "user friendly" (less GUI etc.) but Linux unstable ?? Any examples ?? So why do all the major webservers use it if its so "unstable"?? Would rather have any of Linux's instabilitys than all of Windows OS security holes which constantly suck up my time to "update" & patch. Just my oppinion.

amc 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 yeah longhorn is actually vista, for some reason they changed the name then delayed it around a year or so lmao, thats microsoft for you. I hope you are in your senses, I install windows and check my ram indicator! daMN.. I was wondering where did my 160 mb go. So windows XP does take a *BLEEP* load of resources. And it is a general rule that as operating system progress, they do take increased amount of resources. But they also give that much of stability, reliability, performance etc. in return. Don't believe me, Start off with DOS to Windows XP and see for yourself. Yeah no *BLEEP*. We're not all dumbasses!
