Yeah but folks like P.Thurott, Bink.nu or others reporting for websites like Neowin... they're all MSDN subscribers and/ or Beta testers. That's why I don't reckon much information is withheld from the public in the end.
The reason I can say this, is because I am an official beta tester for microsoft. I'm sorry but I don't see how being an official beta tester could somehow amount to holding exclusive information on that matter while it is all over the Internet. The fact that MS wants for Beta 2 a wider target audienc
Hopefully I can get in on Beta 2. Beta 2 is said to become public (free download) several weeks after it's been released to MSDN subscribers. (say January/ February or March 06 at the latest)
I had the feeling it was something like that.
it's "awaiting moderation"...
I've skiied at both Whistler and Blackcomb, and I've seen that Longhorn cafe place or whatever in town. I like Whistler. Just don't get stuck atop Little Whistler Peak. It' scary . Both are about an hour drive from Vancouver, BC. Are these the mountains you can see rising pretty high behind Vancouv
Interesting. My eXPerience has been that most people consider XP Microsoft's best OS yet, and don't share your attitude towards it. I reckon XP was a pretty big leap forward. It achieved something that was a logical advancement from the NT/2K and 95/98/ME families, in that it reconciled what both fami
afterthought... maybe they could name the next operating system after some god or something...maybe more myth-like.... I think this is an excellent idea indeed! Windows Zeus sounds great to me!
Longhorn made it sound like Microsoft was going really redneck or something What's wrong with our nice cows? Whats wrong with being redneck anyways?
I suppose you apply that same pattern to Mac OS point releases?
Windows codename "Whistler"
Yep. Let us give our nice ole cows a try! I'm pretty sure they could have gotten plenty of folks into the computer store buy the box with the nice horns on it and all! Bummer.
Well "Longhorn" sounded like a tribute to Texas! Now "Vista" sounds more Mexican to me. Never mind ah like'em both equally... True though a Windows box labeled Longhorn would have gotten lotsa folks down here to get curious about the content. Well ah'll be darned... (I do know it's the name of some Starbucks-like café in British Columbia folks at MS loved to take a chill at)
Yeah make it happen! Hallelujah!
can't wait either. Are you talking about the effects seen in build 5060?
After 9/11, Madrid and now London I hope that the international response to these inhuman terrorist acts will not be to banalize them . There is no acceptable excuse for the random extinguishing of life. We shall annihilate them in the end. All my prayers and condolescences go out to England. We're with y'all guys!
Yeehaw! and God bless the Mighty State of Texas! ooops sorry I posted on the wrong forum
Correct. However there is some suggestion that the WinFS file re-director may claim a small full-pledged partition so that it may appear among existing disk's partitions. The evolution of the "file system", if you will, will determine that. I'm happy I had me a geek conversation. thanks a lot <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 A
I was talking about official MS developers' blogs. And it will NOT be out with Longhorn. And fast indexing was a feature explicitly mentioned for winfs. I never said WinFS would be available when Longhorn ships. I said a Beta version of the said file system would appear in a reasonably sh
I sense a lot of bullshit in your posts though. No need to call me ignorant, or say I have clouded judgement for the sake of your argument. I know what Im talking about. I agre
So yeah you can try the betas, and you can actually wait for the OS to come out and preach MS love by yelling out "JUST WAIT JUST WAIT". But if you dont read what MS is actually saying their longhorn, then you shouldnt mention my ignorance Hey don't get all worked up about like nothing! By the time B
WinFS will be added for free shortly after Longhorn ships WinFS Beta 1 will be available shortly after Longhorn release. Untrue, it'll be released (for want of
because they work on different signature databases
Yep read'em all. Claiming that all Windows Longhorn will add to existing Windows features is a new API is ridiculous and has no basis in fact. Beta 1 is not even out, hence the ignorant attribute to his pretending to know something while clearly MS hasn't gotten round to demonstrating anything yet. Besides WinFS will be added for free shortly after Longhorn ships. I, for one, would prefer to wait than force a hurried schedule implementation of the new
