O.P. RE: Windows Longhorn Beta LIVE!
Indeed, Anubis is right. As with any Beta, you need to treat it with Extreme Caution, Especially when it affects your Operating System. If it doesnt function properly, you may end up formatting your entire system.
As for the appearance, I think it looks OKAY for now, but remember, this is still a Beta and the first beta does not contain Avalan and all those other GUI-enhancers.

Thats for stealing beta's ... stuff like messenger cant harm your pc to the extent that an os can .... you'll end up with double the work formatting it and reinstalling everything  [

RE: Windows Longhorn Beta LIVE!
yeah the 5208 version hasbt been leaked so it seems like it wont be... but i have been wrong before so i dont know. you guys are loads more positive about this than some people over at neowin are. but there are a lot of mac fanboys over there. tbh i can see where they are coming from it isnt that different but this is beta 1 so the gui will be the last thing that gets finalised. all the background features are starting to come together though  |

O.P. RE: Windows Longhorn Beta LIVE!
Sources (and myself) are predicting the leak of this build to be 72 hours from Yesterday. I'm almost certain that this will leak soon, however, you'll have to find it yourself, i'm not providing any leak urls in this community.
As for the features, it seems to be a load more secure...it has background features to protect itself from its own security holes on the hardware side of things. As far as I know, the first Longhorn-Compatible PC's will be marketed towards October or November of 2005.

RE: Windows Longhorn Beta LIVE!

okay first, whats up with the newbspeak?
second, try to revise your post so it makes a little more sense
and third, try, avalon is broken? you can't exactly just stick an untested unfinished component in an OS

If it may cause problems, the simplest solution is to use vmware |
