They haven't released it yet. Yes, Longhorn is going to be released as the next OS after XP. Instead of having "XP Home" and "XP Pro", they're going to have the "2000" series OSs and the "XP" OSs. Longhorn most likeley won't be called that when released, it's just the code name.

Anyways, Since Longhorn is a closed BETA, meaning you're not going to be able to use it unless microsoft let's you, I don't want thins thread branching off to people talking about where to get it (Unless microsoft itself provies the link). AIGHT!?

...I'm watching you.

my friend downloaded it for almost 2 weeks...lol. unfortunately, it can't be used because of the big specs...and because they plan it to release on 2005-or 2006, it means that computers will be upgraded that time. well... lets see... in the future.

Other third-party software can do that easily, without the bugs too. And your admin can't debug it by themselves, unless they have explicit permission, because that's a violation of most commercial software copyrights, the primary distinction as oppose to "open-source."

If what u said is just true, they would have stopped palm playstation from developing his handheld from a long time, but, how do u think are they going to know.

1. Microsoft Vs. Macintosh - Which operation system is the best (13)
2. Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative - linux operating system (46)

   About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
   tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
   Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
   to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
   should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
   a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t...

3. Rate An Operating System! - I need this info for my comic strip. (0)

   I have a very irregular comic strip that I make, and I want my next strip to be in the spirit of
   XKCD's comic "f--- grapefruit", and rate operating systems instead. I'm running a poll
   here, based on whether people think an operating system is better than Windows 2000 or not, which
   I'm going to use as a benchmark (sea-level point) for rating systems. The rating system is on 3
   axes, "usefulness", "reliability", and "security". Basically, for the poll, check which ones you
   think are more useful than Windows 2000 on the first poll, which ones are more reliable ...

5. Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System? - (34)

   Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
   distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
   answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
   Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
   The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
   applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
   Linux and take Windows anyday. ...

6. Operating Sys Deleting - HD deletes operating sys (9)

   Help! has anyone ever heard of a hard drive deleting a Operating system? I have a old HP that I
   had been playing with, trying to fix it up for a friend young son to mess around with. It had no
   Operating system in it to start with. I had a old hard drive laying around that had windows 98 in
   it which was perfect for the old HP due to memory and being just a 286. Well, I removed the old HD
   and put in the one with the 98. Booted up great. even got on the net with it for a bit, then I had
   to run out for a bit so I shut it down. When I got back, I turned it back on to in...

9. Lament About Windows' Automatic Updates - Microsoft Windows Automatic Update Levels (1)

   (I've always wondered why...) ...Windows always employs a "you don't need to know what
   you're getting" attitude with its updates. By default, updates are set to be automatic, in the
   name of "protecting your computer from exploits" (I call this Level 3 automatic updates). With
   Level 3, everything is automatic. Windows automatically downloads and installs the updates, and then
   turns off your computer in 5 minutes if you don't postpone it. This is the most annyoing level,
   in my opinion. I set it to Level 2 (download, but don't install yet) myself. This...

23. Indian Operating System - i just find... (1)

    I think Linux sweeping the world was a bit of a premature prediction (what everyone in relatively
    intellectual circles was saying in the late 90's and very early 2000's). Microsoft with a
    true oligopoly that has crushed the chances of any third party OS, like BeOS, one of the most
    promising OSes of the 90's IMHO. Linux and Unix really need a serious internal structural revamp
    (like the NT system does of course), perhaps even a change to a server based OS; I guess that would
    sort of be a total rewrite of all the code though Copied from "Olorix" on http://fo...
