Has anyone tested it? I just got it and I'm thinkin about installin it right now.

Good part of its XML (and the XML part is Really big) doesn't work. So its pretty unuseable for things that might be interesting...

I'll have a copy of it tomorrow if all goes according to plan .

It's a bit glitchy... still has some bugs, but what do you expect. It works alright though.

i'm reading a lot about Longhorn these last weeks, i head it's installation is very fast.
Can anyone give me a copy too, i'd like to try it and see how it works..

As far as I know it is still in testing, I will gladly wait for the RTM. I am sure it will be buggy enough even at that point. However, I think 2000 was pretty popular and XP not at all (in a commercial business aspect), but this is the operating system I perceive to be the standard for a will (similar to what NT4 did for so long).

Yeah but lets not forget that Longhorn looks a lot like XP..

I was told that Longhorn was being built from the ground up. Which is what was done with NT I think. If this is indeed the case that every line of code is going to be rewritten from scratch, then it will most likely be another century until it is out.

On another note, the name Longhorn came from a bar in the Whistler-Blackcomb ski resort area.

Can anyone verify this, or am I in some other dimension?

So is this right?

Whistler became .NET which became 2003
Longhorn is the .NET which is out next year?

"Longhorn XP" lol, go figure that it'd LOOK LIKE xp...

yeah, whistler, longhorn, .NET, I believe them all to be the same system.

whistler = windows XP
longhorn = next windows release of windows (for the desktop at least). In a few days (april 24) windows server 2003 will be on stores. (In the past known as windows.net server)

thanks for the clarification. I was confoozled. I am installing 2003 here soon, hope its good.

Whistlers version information states "Longhorn XP". next?

Just wondering...

Do you guys have any idea if win serv 2003 will be able to install on any windows running machine without deleting the current files. I mean will we be able to update our OS to win serv 2003 without deleting [censored]..

Btw, anyone around here installed Longhorn yet ? I wanna know whats your opinion..
