I really nice page on MSDN with some good pictures is

http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/default...e_patientdb.asp

Looks like being a developer for the windows platform is going to get a whole lot nicer(visually).

That isn't what the VS is going to look like (color wise, etc.). Everyone at PDC has said it is a "Frosted Glass" opaque look as in the Aero Rock video.

And if you watch the Amazon.com video, you really get to see what Aero is capable of (Rolodex type browsing).

Here is more proof: Longhorn Desktop Video

Oh and here are screenshots:

and plenty of others from Paul Thurrott's Wonder Site

Anyone able to export that video to an open format :rolleyes: ? ... I would love to see it, but Microsoft are yet to release codec's or an updated Windows Media Player for OS X, since Version 7 (Which BLOWS :x )

Please! :p

I like the 4050 shots, probably only difference is DCE/Aero :)

The lack of Aero you mean.

This is the same build of Longhorn that was introduced at the Keynote this morning by Bill Gates and Jim Allchin. The only difference between this specific copy of the OS is that this lacks components from Aero. The Microsoft representative told us that Aero is still under heavy construction and security, to prevent any form of leakage, as the rep himself had never really worked with it.

Which explains why no one has seen it before PDC and everyone thinks they know what it looks like. MS is getting smarter and smarter.

Here is a new video (Avalon Transparencies) straight from Paul showing how Avalon works with the windows (still called explorer?).

Nice alerts! I hope the error dialogues will be alerts now. That would make it sooo much nicer.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
