Yeah, it looks good … but it’s still Windows! We’ll have to see if it runs better than the other Windows OS-es. I think my XP running laptop is nice, but I love the UNIX based Mac OS-X. Only time will tell - Longhorn is scheduled for 2006 release. But you can bet your butts that I’m not investing in a new computer until then! ---

Doesn’t look that much different than XP right now, it’s just another version of XP (XP2). But it’s going to require a bunch of system resources to get those graphics and such, I’m thinking 256MB minimal RAM, 32MB minimal graphic card. :sure: Microsoft, sucks, but yet I love it to death.:love: ---

Plus the file system will be based off of SQL. It’ll be a strange breed. The visuals of it are far from carved in stone though. Some people like the new direction, others not so much. And I dont see where its _wanting_ to be os x so badly 😛 [size=1](and yes, m$ sucks :\*\*)[/size] ---

a person from the computer store i worked at snagged a copy of longhorn for me…i haven’t even thought about it until i saw this thread i just installed it and am actually using it right now…honestly, in the alpha stage it looks like a skinned windows xp. won’t be able to really tell until it gets the new file system. it does look like it has a different way of organizing files though…groups pictures, videos, and documents together kind of like a mac [http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/longhorn\_4015.asp](http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/longhorn_4015.asp) -teet ---
