Deron Dantzler Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Meh it's probably too buggy to use right now. I downloaded it at over 1750 kb/s last night from an undisclosed location. Haven't burned or installed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay-Man Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I just found an older link on Paul Thurrots Site - It shows a few pictures of the PDC2003 rock video that Microsoft presented at that time. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longh...c2003_movie.asp Back in 2003, this was actually the first time when I was thinking: "Wow, Microsoft finally hired some decent artists and Longhorn won't look as sparse as previous versions did!". Looking at the Content that is currently in Beta 1, I'm pretty disappointed. But I really think/hope that Microsoft hasn't shown anything yet or that what we currently see in Beta1 will be the lowest configuration for Longhorn/Vista. The PDC2003 designs looked awesome, simple, clear, beautiful. Let's hope that Beta 2 will finally show what Microsoft has worked on so far.
