That's right the PDC build of Longhorn (4051) is now available to download from the MSDN Subscription Downloads page if you have access to an MSDN account.

Also available are the LDK (Longhorn Driver Kit), SDK and "Whitepapers and Extras"

Nice!

All I wish I had is access to the MSDN site and things would be cool. :)

About reaping the fruits of MSDN, yes, you want it, but didn't you get a PDC goodie bag from a friend?

He now says that someone else needed the goodie bag more than me. (N)

Not that much of a friend as a colleague.. Ex colleague?

To answer a couple of questions:

The Microsoft? Windows? codename Longhorn Driver Kit (LDK) provides a development environment for the creation of drivers for Windows Codename Longhorn, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. The LDK provides additional driver-specific headers, libraries, sources, tools, test frameworks, and documentation that are used to develop drivers for Windows codename Longhorn.

and

The filename for the standard 32bit image is lh_usa_4051_x86fre_pro.iso

On a side note, this made me chuckle:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/productinfo/tour/ starts with "This document is intended as a high-level user's guide for developers" but the "high-level" guide includes such items as

1. From the Start menu, click Computer. This is a place from which you can get to all of your storage locations, such as the WinFX default store, and

3. Open the Start menu and click Music. The music you added to the WinFX default store appears in the music collection

High-level indeed ;o)

It really is good value for money if you're a student. I think it's $250 now for an OS subscription, which gives you all MS Operating Systems, and 10 licenses for each. So, if you've got 3 or more systems needing windows xp pro on them, you're already saving money.

    • 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.
