dude, of-course there is a timebomb.. all alpha or beta software has those.. but more than likely before it expires (LOL Windows XP .NET expires in 365 days) :) you'll have a newer version by then.

i hear that the leaked 1 is really "watered down" without the REAL NEW features that the official internal testers have access to. I'll wait til at least BETA.

I got it. It isn't very good right now. It will hopefully better on the beta versions, and final. Actually, it's not going to be much improvement on Windows XP pro. Cause it isn't so far.

ThirdShift its a thread on discussing longhorn.

i don't see anyone saying that they where the ones who take credit "for breaking this news first"

Even though i don't see why you should take credit for the longhorn news, its not like you leaked it.... :unsure:

ok heres my experiences with installing Longhorn.

downloaded the file in 1hr @ 200 K/sec from Irc. (not saying where, so dont ask)

burnt the .iso to cd, went perfectly.

thought "u beaut!" and then proceeded to make a backup of the .iso to my harddrive using isobuster. this again worked no problems.

so yes, i thought to myself ok this is goin well, might install it now... so i bunged in the cd, and autorun started, so i clicked on "install longhorn". yay! it asked if i wanted to install a fresh copy, or upgrade, i wanted to keep my settings etc, so i clicked upgrade.... copied files from the cd.... then rebooted..

weee was goin excellent so far i thought!

rebooted, started the install program, then stopped.

"please insert your Windows XP Profressional CD then press Enter to continue"

WTF?

I put in the XP cd, pressed enter, it copied files... hm strange i thought.... stopped.

"file idwlog.blah missing, continue, retry, exit"

WTF?

ok ill click retry, maby the cd is hot... nup, same msg... hmmm clicked continue... more files copied from the cd.... stopped.

more files missing!

arrrghhh, pressed esc bout 402340924890 times to continue installing... doesnt help...

files are missing, ALOT OF FILES...

exited the setup

rebooted

no OS.

great... fresh reinstall of XP...

tried again using the setup from the hard disk

same deal..

guys, i suggest you DONT download this just yet... files are missing, and its a poopter trying to reinstall your configs from backups...

soo heres what i say in summery

its all good until you click "setup"

:angry:
