2. is it really faster as the other builds

2. is it really faster as the other builds

:blink:

1: Classic Tray, Clock, Quick Launch, Slide Show and Synchronize

2: More Stable than any other builds and a bit faster.

Wow this is all very interesting. :) Actually I'm feeling a definately case of Deja Vu.

I remember seeing some early pre beta build of Whistler and it was progressing a little like Longhorn.

But now that I see a pre beta of Longhorn, I'm impressed with the new features and ideas that are being included (Y)

This is going to be a great beta; once it's out! :happy:

[Isakowski]

ok, really bad that they didnt finished the wmp tile...

that would be really great

When Is Aero Coming Out? :huh:

[dreamsINdigital]

Is there a new screensaver?

[Palmeiro]

Is there a new screensaver?

no not really, just the same one with a modified logo similar to the boot logo

[tatsukaze00]

Ugh, tried to install, now it's giving me a 0x0000007B stop error on the first boot right after the install. Might be my RAID array, but i'm not quite sure. Any help appreciated.

We most likely won't see it until late 2005 or early 2006 before Longhorn's release date. Microsoft is going to want this kept secret for a while.

i'd say around beta 2, so should be around march 2004.

Here's something i did:

Edit win32ui.dll with a resource editor. The product key screen is Dialog #109. What i did is delete the product key graphic and instead put a text box with my product key. That way when i install longhorn the product key is right where i type it.

-gosh

[dreamsINdigital]

So how safe is it to install this build? Does it "call home" or anything?

[jdlarson83]

Anyone have any tweaking ideas for this build, seems a lot slow on my laptop; also, i have noticed there are some very strange things in Longhorn like the folders in the Windows Directory, like the Panther folder?? what the hell is that

[gosh]

It looks like ms didn't change how sysprep runs on this. If you don't have a product key you can use one from longhorn.

During the setup screen, just press shift +F10, then go to c:\sysprep. In that folder you'll find unattend.txt, that has a product key that WILL work for this build.

-gosh

I'll be installing it shortly, if I can figure out how to make an 8 GB partition out of my 60 GB currently on there without losing data.

Msconfig command is gone, but I've found part of it :D

every build of longhorn has it like that

[John Veteran]

OMFG! :omg: this looks awesome! :woot: can't wait for the betas :D

[M118LR]

Can someone post the new wallpapers. I have seen a screenshot of one that is all gray with a darker gray X on it. In the lower right corner is the Microsoft flag with Longhorn under it. And yes Bliss is posted on the front page.

Still waiting for a log-on screen.

Webgraph just use partition magic, resize your 60Gb to 52Gb then create a 8Gb partition in the free space.

[corrosive23]

You mean this?
