I was lying... lol!

I have no clue how to get in there. I guess it requires good history on Betaplace/Windowsbeta and vouching from one of their core group members. NFI.

I heard from a reliable source that you needed to be a well known Microsoft employee and have one of your top bosses (with access to the special area on the intranet with Longhorn) vouch for you, then you get access, sounds about right, this 4xxx build is probably fake, there was a guy who posted his "4xxx" desktop in December Desktops about 3-4 days ago :unsure:

not true at all....

our family has a few friends that work at microsoft and i remember i job shadowed one of them 2 years ago.

Basically you can get the latest dialy builds from their intranet. I remember IE6 in development and to get to the IE intranet you would just point the browser (IE, ;)) to \\IEbeta. This also counted for Windows XP being in development The person I was with said that daily builds are incredibly buggy and that if Microsoft employees test software they use the builds marked by the lab as usable. Now I never asked what he meant with usable :rolleyes: .Sure you don't have to believe but they have a server called \\Graveyard where all the old stuff goes, it was quite funny.

Now of course you can alll think that this isn't true and that I am lying but I guess your just going to have to take my word for it.

What this thread is not dead yet??? Longhorn was a freak of warped OS. The thing doesn't even work right. Please people give it up. The OS if you can call it that, was leaked on purpose. Case closed. This thread needs to be closed to save Neowin space for real posts like the unendable word association thread and never ending one word story game created by Keldyn. (what is Neowin coming to anyway???)

but it would be cool if one day you open your mailbox and ther is a cd and a letter from microsoft saying "please help us test this verion of Longhorn, but please, don't give it to anyone else."

LOL :D ....

he is worried about the chache(sp?) from neowin taking up all the space on his 2.0gb hard drive lol. :-P

you all know what? i thought that longhorn was cool, but when i had a folder with internet links in it, it would connect to the internet and get me thumb view of the pages. so the first time i let it do it and it took almost 7 minute to get them all done! little things like that is why im running winxp pro, not longhorn

You are so right! I went back to XPpro. I tried LongHorn, I liked a few things about it also. But in the end XP Pro has what I like/need. ;) I also tried Win.net Server betas. I was thinking it would handle my multimedia better. Maybe so. But I had problems with drivers, so I dumped it. I find XP pro great! :yes:

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
