We can talk about it without any problems. Just as long as no links are posted to the actual beta download then its ok.

so we can speak of what they are preparing....right?

that you can...it's no secret...

Proxy, i may say there are some sites wich i don't know the url, where you can obtain it...add me to msn if you want me to think better if i remember them...

Eh I've tried the betas and I think Longhorn is a pain in the butt. There’s too much GUI and it's almost totally different from any other Microsoft operating system. You need special drivers to install in it that work with Longhorn. I hope they fix it up before they release it.

for the moment it sucks. it crashed all the time. and you can't install drivers, ...
if you try something you can format your c drive

um i dont think we should be discussing it in terms of "oh drivers dont work with it" because obviously they will when it is released. i think it works surprisingly well for an alpha opereting system (yes, it is alpha not beta. the first beta is out in march i think or may. i will check later)
we can even discuss using Longhorn as it is possible to get it from the MSDN source although many people chose not to....

By the look of it, it seems like it is going to be a fairly big jump. Mostly visually, although if all this integration with each other is true then this is just going to start becoming annoying. Even small things now, such as  internet explorer being so tightly-packed into it really get annoying. I realise that Microsoft don't want you to use software from other companies, but it is beginning to become too much like you are being told how to use your own computer.

I agree with Cookie's post somewhere (can't be bothered to find it to quote ) that things are becoming almost too easy for new users. Spending most of my time on the msgplus irc channel, you get people coming in who have to be told step by step what to do. If something goes wrong with their computer, many people now won't use common sense or even trial and error () to see what could be wrong. If something isn't spelled out for them then they are lost.

Anywho, time to go now.
