RE: RE: RE: Windows Longhorn Beta LIVE!
The new build looks sweet, however I don't think those screenshots really show off all that Longhorn has to offer...nice to see IE with tabs though :p.

The computer management screen looks quite efficient, and hopefully should speed up doing tasks, however it needs work on the GUI of it. Looks like a combination of Windows 3.1 and Longhorn. It may sound dumb, but when I'm trying to fix some problems I don't want to have to see these old looking texty screens with small faddy icons and those lists of crap, it makes it seem much more tedious. What I'd prefer to see is something along the lines of the nicer new GUI of Windows Media Player, something with big colourful icons and soft graphics.

Anyway, there are a lot of useful new displays like the status bars, and nicely designed as well as well thought through useful additions.

I'm really looking forward to the new version of Windows, unless they do go ahead with the TCPA idea.

Dude, be a little covertish about warez :p.

Also be careful when installing it, Microsoft do not make any lies up about how possibly unstable this build could be, and if it really screws up you can't get any tech support.
I know of people who have installed it and now their computer locks up at the 'choose your operating system' screen; also ironically only Longhorn is listed.
