This windows is the but powerful graphic soften. Its tools and its programs to be the but beautiful by its advanced graphic.

I have a beta version and i don't do to work this because my computer only have 512Ram, 2.4 Athlon. this operative system need 1GB of ram and 3.2GH of procesor to work good. I don't recomended this system because is bad, don't work good.

Actually, I have an advanced-alpha build and I had it on an old computer. Pentium 3 @ 700 MHz and I think 125 MB of RAM. It worked fine... until I used a bug fix to create a new folder... once I fixed that bug, Longhorn crashed on me.

 

I CANNOT WAIT for it to be releaced! I have to agree with you. It is beautiful by its advanced graphics!

 

I put a screenshot of "My Computer" and the start menu in a Word document right before it crashed... that's all I have left! *sniffs*

Yeah, I'm not really sure if I think longhorn would be worthwhile. I'm thinking about switch over from the dark side to either apple or linux.

I'm pretty excited to see longhorn when it comes out. I definately won't have the cash to get it for a while, but I'm ok with that. I'll let them work out the bugs and get things situated before I bother turning my whole system over. I think MS has been moving in the right direction. Windows XP isn't by any means perfect, but nothin is and i enjoy it. I just hope Longhorn looks a little more classy rather than the bubble-gum graphics xp has (start button mainly). but I have windows put back to 2000 style with a custom color theme and that suits me just fine. I think it'll be a solid OS and am excited to see what they do. And honestly, I have no real need to actually move to another OS. It does what I want and I don't have any problems with it.Ray J Gentry IV

one thing you gotta admit...

Microsoft is definatly leading the world in the search for the *perfect* shade of blue.

 

and thats all i noticed afrom the longhorns screen shots... its a DIFFERENT shade of blue.

 

thats all that seems to chanmge...

windows 9X... blue.

2K softer blue

XP darker blue.

Longhorn.. darker still blue.

 

i wonder how many designers worked for how many hours to create the perfect shade of blue ?

and why doesnt the desktop Blue match the BSOD blue ?

 

and has MS patented that shade of blue yet ? or has IBM patented blue ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think the "blue" is patented to M$. Although in this day and age (I am thinking about the software patent and crying for the loss of Kopete) nothing should surprise us. Longhorn is more a grayish blue, but I suppose it depends on which screenshots you see. One thing struck me. While everyone is going on and on about WOW THERE'S A CLOCK ON THERE and the desktop fillings in Longhorn... Linux (Gnome and KDE actually) have had that for ages... Karamba for KDE and GDesklets for Gnome. Some of the features M$ proclaims to be sooo wonderful no one will be able to live without them, have been around for a while in the Open Source Market. Yet, M$ "reinvents" them and everyone cheers.

 

I have a perfectly working version of Ubuntu 64Bit lying on my desk! Fit for the end user, where's M$ with the 64bit XP's... still seriously in devellopment... It's sad, very sad...

 

Now I quoted this piece of qwiji for the sole reason of the truth. He may have meant it to contain irony and sarcasm, but he's right. There probably IS a whole team of designers that think about "the perfect shade of blue". I also wonder who the heck came up with the idea of using the BRIGHTEST blue as BSOD... with white text.. it hurts my eyes every time I get it (believe me, in Windows it's frequent)

Ive heard a lot about this, pros and cons, personally im looking forward to it being released.Are there any copies available now? If so where? and also does anyone when the real thing will be released?Are there any available screenshots of it?I have used all windows (98, 2000, xp) i even tried linux mandrake. but always went back to windows due to its ease of use and availability of programs.

I keep my Windows XP to a minimum regarding apperaence and effects so I don't see why I would use an operation system that has even more effects and elements that would slow down my workflow, bare in mind that this is just an operation system, it does not suppose to overflow your system and take CPU power away from other processes simply to show some effects.

[iGuest 3]

i think because you had a beta edition it does not works good with you, or maybe my friend is wrong

[iGuest 3]

i don't know about u and i did not try it yet but my friend who already try it says that the longhorn is the best operating system ever....!!!!
