Longhorn removed from MSDN Universal

[tgindrup]

It looks like downloading Longhorn from MSDN Universal has been turned-off. Hope this means they're getting ready for the WinHEC '05 update :cool:

That's right. No good if the new builds get leaked a week early after all.

MSDN is too expensive :(

Get the company to pay for it :yes:

will the WinHEC update be a public release, or will it just be open to msdn subscribers?

[ev0|]

it'll be "public" as soon as it hits the darknet man.

Yes they do. But they also offer MSDNAA which has everything MSDN Universal has except for Office (but includes Access). It is only $899.00/year for the ENTIRE DEPARTMENT and includes unlimited downloadable software for students and faculty along with Volume License software versions for labs.

Sounds like they're up to something :) I think the WinHEC 2005 build will be pretty interesting, considering the fact that there hasn't been any leak after 4074 (am I right on this one?).

I think there was 4083, but it was only 64 bit.
