I heard Longhorn? What is it? Any details? I heard a different file system.
I run XP pro with all updates and it is good enough for now. Just wondering how they were planning on improving.

I always get confused on the naming of MS products..Is win2003 meant for business(server) and longhorn a home user product???..I wish that **** Gates would name his OS in a logical usefull manner..:mad:
Win2003 Server is meant for servers only, its got a loty of compatibility issues with regular software ive heard

cool, so I take it Longhorn is the next OS above XP--I wonder if there will be a pro and home edition as well???Quote:

What is wrong with the XP GUI? You can change it. I think people love to complain about Microsoft, Windows and Bill Gates for no other reason then it is popular to do. I for one am sick of it.Quote:

If it isnt Bill Gates' best friend back again :rolleyes:
Personally i dont like the big fluffy pre-schooler interface, XP was supposed to be a revolutionary look, instead it turned out looking like an educational toy for preschoolers. In contrast even Linux looks much nicer. Yes you can return it to the classic look and i suppose thats okay, personally i imported a load of hacked .dll files and im now running XP with the entire MACOSX front end. If MS could make a GUI that looked half as good as the latest mac offerings they would be onto something very good indeed

Yes you can switch to Classical mode...Just a thought, maybe if Bill Gates actually ASKED the consumer what they wanted then maybe there would be less complaining..http://www.steroidology.com/forum/im...lies/splat.gifQuote:

Why stick with classic or fischer price themes. Just patch XP and you can use 3rd party themes w/o having to run one of the various theme apps.
Most of the third party themes are pants in my findings
