But while we are on the topic....I am a bit confused here. When I first heard about Longhorn, the article said that they where making a new OS from scratch. Then later on, I read that they where going to build it on Win03server, then a swiss guy told me that it became too slow, so they ditched it, and are now building it from the XP platform....anyone knows whats true here. I am tired of googling for today..:)

I am 99% sure that Longhorn is built on .NET, unlike W2k-XP etc. Therefore, yes it is a completely new architecture.
It's being built from scratch, .NET based, many cool new features. Trust me on this, I've seen it ;)
I have seen a video of it...and I like that your GPU should do more work for the desktop....:)...GPU p4wns *
I would havebeen nice to have a look at the build 5048 beta, unfortunately I couldn't find it (seemingly only shown at presentations/conferences/reviews etc)
Just a video? :DQuote:

I can't see why they want to show it to some people and then telling them not to talk about it. What is the point...grrr....well...yeah I only saw a video. But who cares...it is miles away anyway..:)

They show it to a few people for their feedback. I believe it's important to them.
Speaking of feedback, another random fact of the day: The band U2 was originally called "Feedback" :ehh:
Ohhh yeah...I guess that is importent to them. Good point. Totaly missed that one..:)...was only thinking about the show off way of it...:)
So did you get the opertunity to fill out some kind of form, or speak right to them about it?

My computer would only be standalone (I dont have budget yet to buy many computers) but I think it would also be used in LAN if ever I need to.... So what's the best? XP in Classic View?
XP Pro. The theme is your personal preference ;)
