i think i need to extract my xp cd to a temp file, and copy all the files from longhorn cd to the xp one, and mabey that would work? i've seen a boot disk fixer, but i heard that isn't the way to go.

Yea I got it on also, since yesterday (had it on tuesday) anyways I did the upgrade method, extract the iso's files on your HD and run winnt32.exe from it, and do an upgrade, I have a guide but my colo company is currently moving to toronto :o

Can't anyone rip the Sidebar, the Plex visual style, and other new/updated apps from Windows Longhorn? :)

Plex visual style was ripped already, in fact it was even before Longhorn leaked cause Winbeta (I think thats who gave it) gave the actual style to a visual style maker and released it for xp.

how do you install windows longhorn in vmware ?? or as a main os?

i got winxp home on right now

you need windows xp professional. xp home is just designed so newbies and old people don't delete their system files, and not to install alpha builds of OSes ;)

You just said what I WISH XP Home was... but sadly, XP Home is pro with less features, old ppl can still go into my computer and delete important things. I had to set up a router for some people b4, and when I looked at their previous attempt, I realized that your idea of having a windows that couldn't be f*ed up easily is a good idea. Let's just say, the wizard didn't help them and me and my friend were there for hours redoing what they did wrong... this was XP Home. I believe you do need XP Pro though for longhorn

I am looking to install the LonghornXP on a separate partition than my XP pro drive. What is the best way? I don't want to lose data from this XP.

Do I have to do the upgrade from XPpro sp-1? or can I use any OS? Or can you simply do a fresh install without installing any OS? I know I can install the Upgrade CD for XPpro without an existing OS as long as I have a Full CD of some OS availible. I did it with Corp,and Japan Me. Each worked just fine for clean install.

Again what is the best formula?

it's an alpha version so nothing works right .. well almost nothing. Drivers and all will prolly work on LH but with the new everything, they'll prolly be a new set just for LH that is optimised. ANyways, you can just choose NEW INSTALLATION and then choose ADVANCED OPTIONS and install LH on any partition you want :) You can even install it on a blank HD too by making your LH bootable.

Thanx Xero-cool

:) Yeah, follow it and use NERO and you'll have a nice bootable LH CD to install on a BLANK drive :) Yes, no upgrading necessary

Hey, I got it. It seems to have some bugs so far. But looks good, and setup wasn't so problematic. Only the activation thingy, anyone know how to fix that?

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
