Jason Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 anyone knows if longhorn will run on a P2 - 400MHz w/ 64MB ram? (that would be my test comp) ;) Nope know one knows, its not finalised so isn't optimised yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrastudent Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 you need to have build 4008 installed for it to work.. Lame-o. Great work WinBeta :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyablue Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Everytime the release of a new Milestone build of Longhorn gets released, the same old question pops up. Stop being dumb (sorry if I'm rhetorically harsh), I think its redundant to keep posting questions based on whether you should use a prerelease OS as your main system. Make up your own mind, its your risk. After a month though, don't come posting how it screwed up your system or start complaining about its flaws... remember... its a prerelease of an OS, calm down and buy some new underwear before you soil your current ones by complaining.

velocity3k Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 anyone knows if longhorn will run on a P2 - 400MHz w/ 64MB ram? (that would be my test comp) ;) It worked on my PII400 with 128mb, i wouldn't suggest that anyone try this os on anything lower than a PIII500 with 128mb. Mainly because the os is a memory hog and if not enough is given it will struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted April 26, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2003 You don't need 4008 to install, it will install fine on it's own. Another nice touch is the logon, it's more then just a change of a few bitmaps, the structure has changed as well as having the "Log on as..." feature: Click for the full picture. If anyone wants the graphics for the logon to create the equivelant for XP, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted April 26, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2003 It will install fine as long as you launch setup.exe from within XP. Unfortunately the boot is ****** ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kateni Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 It's very slow.! Because you have the default services you don't need on and others you do need off. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Topology Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I think longhorn 4015 is ironically an extraordinary advance from 4008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copying Macintosh.Josh That's the first thing I thought. It's almost identical. I'm on 2003 at the moment but if I go back to XP I'll remake it for XP so everyone can check it out.

Hypoxiaicon Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Crapload more buggy for me, explorer has crashed 7 times in the past 10 minutes for me. Sidebar is looking better, actually getting some decent stuff on there. WinFS is still a service running on top, craplaod of stuff running as default as well. I think this will be my last build for a while. On your Windows Task Manager you have the commit charge in "M" Mine is in "k" is that something you've done or Longhorn?

Dazzla Veteran Posted April 27, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2003 That's 4015 and I haven't changed anything, that's about 10 minutes into the default install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
