This is interesting by brianjdupuis on 04-07-2004 at 08:34 PM
Hey today I was looking at some screenshots of Windows longhorn and I came across this!!
RE: This is interesting by Menthix on 04-07-2004 at 08:40 PM
That's the new Windows Messenger which will be included with Windows Longhorn (before people start talking MSN 6.2 rumors again 
).
But it looks nice, i think i shoul try Longhorn too somtime.

Uhm, could it be this screenshot is totally fake? I just search to see how old the 4183 build showed in the screenshot really is and it came up with this (including way more sites reporting fake screenshots): http://users.pandora.be/aldatillian/VARIOUS/LH_Fake_Builds.htm#LH_4183

This is a kind of (Windows??) Messenger you get with MSN Ecplorer... I have no idea why, but i never got such a thing myself, my brother did... Just on Windows XP or 98, dont remember what he had excactly, was very long ago... All i remember is that it was totally unsopported by Plus! and had no cool features, just a much better interface
Maybe this is a kinda thing you get when you use MSN Explorer and have no MSN Messenger installed or shit, I dont know 
RE: This is interesting by M-Head on 04-07-2004 at 09:13 PM
Yeah, it's the Messenger that you get in MSN Explorer. It's only the old version though. You can't use it now, either, as you get told you HAVE to update before u can use MSN Explorer again. Dayum.
RE: This is interesting by Kryptonate on 04-07-2004 at 09:19 PM
Hm, there will be some interesting features in Longhorn 
. The picture viewer looks nice, the transparacy of windows explorer and the GUI are nice too.

Anyway... It looks... fake.
You have seen there are more things in the windows (Invite, Send files, Webcam, Launch, block, format, etc.). They can't have taken it off from one day to another. And the design looks also very simple for me. Look at the scroll.
And as Shady sais, it's probably some MSN-Explorer-crap. Look at the icon. In the tray there is MSNExplorer and WinMessenger.
So... not interesting at all, imo.

Looks fake to me, but I do like it. If it exsisted and had stuff like webcam and such like onto it, and I'd get it, much nicer then MSN 6.1 on windows 98 if you ask me

RE: This is interesting by lylesback2 on 04-08-2004 at 09:39 PM
Wait! has anyone thought of looking at the TITLE of the page / taskbar? it says Longhorn FAKE Builds...
quote:
Microsoft Codename "Longhorn" FAKE Builds
It's quite amazing how many people claim to have screenshots of the newest and latest build of Microsoft Codename "Longhorn" (LH).
While this next-gen OS from Microsoft is still in its _alpha_ stage, some even claim to have video-footage of the 1st LH Beta!
Sometimes it's really hard to see that a screenshot is indeed fake like very subtle mistakes in the build number for instance;
sometimes it's plain obvious when the author used the wrong theme for instance; and
sometimes it's just hilarious what people dare to call a screenshot of the newest LH leak
also.. www.betavision.net is no longer a site

RE: This is interesting by marissa on 04-08-2004 at 11:32 PM
I dont know much about the new windows or anything. but i swear i've seen that as someones theme on some theme site...meh. i could be wrong...It looks all...crowded.
RE: This is interesting by Super Dude on 04-09-2004 at 02:16 AM
That screenshot is a fake. Microsoft is sticking to a Grey scale theme (Slate) for longhorn right now.
And if someone has seen that as a desktop before in a screenshot, it is most likly the person was using DesktopX

What is loghorn?

RE: This is interesting by tomfletcherman on 04-09-2004 at 03:55 PM
Why did microsoft release betas of longhorn? surely everyone can wait for the hopefully less buggy final that might actually have some programs made for it?
RE: This is interesting by KeyStorm on 04-09-2004 at 04:11 PM
Well, we'll have to wait at least two years for it...
But trust me I can wait... Not that I wished it's released (and not that I'm gonna buy it 
)
RE: This is interesting by Nexohrion on 04-09-2004 at 04:16 PM
I've got a question for who got the newest alpha/beta of longhorn,
How are the drives being set,
are those still A: thru Z: ? or is it already changed,
the last time i used it, it was still A: thru Z:, and what i heard, is that Microsoft was building on a new technology for drives...
RE: This is interesting by Pure_BY on 04-09-2004 at 05:13 PM
Ahm... i dunno whats "A: thru Z:", but all my drivers dont work, screen looks fucked up, i have no sound, it works slow as fuck: takes ages to install, years to start up and hours to run the programs.
Messenger Plus! 2 worked well though

First of all Longhorn is not beta yet but alpha build. The beta is due to the end of this year unless they shift the date again and again what they all like to do.
Many people like to test and see the new features of the upcoming release and that's why they cant wait

They are still set as in Windows XP and the drive architecture is still the same, however in beta they 'll start testing the new drive technology
RE: This is interesting by Super Dude on 04-09-2004 at 08:44 PM
A longorn beta prob. wont come out until 2005 at the earliest because a large % of M$ programers are working on XP SP2.
RE: This is interesting by Digirat on 04-09-2004 at 08:59 PM
i don't know what some of you idiots are seriously saying....
1) longhorn is only an alpha release
2) its is NOT greyscale
3) the latest build is 4053 as far as i know
4) take a look at some screenshots i took: running one of the earlier versions of longhorn through virtualpc.

RE: This is interesting by Kryptonate on 04-09-2004 at 09:21 PM
Don't call us idiots, it's not very respectful is it?
1) It's not even alpha it's a build version, the alpha will be released this year.
2) we can see the difference between grey and blue
3) learn to read, every where you see "4183" it says it's fake
4) good for you
RE: This is interesting by s7a5 on 04-09-2004 at 09:42 PM

that's not necessary, being a bit more friendly won't harm you. Sorry if I was wrong, everyone can make misstakes but that's no reason to insult people.
