Check out these sweet screenshots I found on the upcoming Windows Operating System, Longhorn, due on 2006: http://winsupersite.com/reviews/longhorn_5048_gallery_01.asp
To me, it looks like Windows XP with 6 coats of wax and OS X in mixed in. According to the screenshots, it looks like you get more screenspace because the toolbar at the top is not so big anymore. A bad thing that will come out of this, or so I've heard, is that Longhorn will spy on you because Microsoft wants everyone to buy their software, so their company can grow, and Gates can get richer. What do you think of these screenshots? Will you buy it when it comes out on 2006? |

When a new company or idea comes out, Micro$oft simply buys their idea or incorporate it into their Operating Systems/softwares, and say they made it. On a health topic now, your cough seems awfully bad. It's turning into a "gough" now. You should really have that checked, Anthony.

Overall the Longhorn are almost same as Windows XP SP2. There is not a very much differerence. Now we have to wait for the features of it so that we can decide that we are going to purchase it or not.

They are some Elite screenies man, nice find!
 It is still a bit to much like Windows Xp, not much differnce, but still exciting stuff! Is this only the BETA version? Or is this the full version at microsoft? Or is this just some guy who downloaded the BETA? I have seen LongHorn (BETA) and it was more different then that, that has gone a step towards XP, the LongHorn beta had more features and looked different, alot different! Also, has anyone found anymore screenies? It would be good to see what it looked like with like a new desktop and icons on the desktop..I.E games, programs etc... ~ hurley |

It looks very impressive. Microsoft is atleast excelling in graphics. If linux can beat in this may be we can have a stiff competition between the two. My only hope is that microsoft will not make compulsory for their programmes to be installed when their OS is being installed in our systems. If there are choices for mp3 players and others it will be good.. I hate windows messenger it keeps logging on automatically...
If longhorn is released I would definitely go for it... |
