Paulstorm Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hey guys...this is from the actual transcript: "Now, the next step for Longhorn, we've had some design previews already. We've shared with partners as well as ISVs and IHVs what we're doing. We do have regular builds running of this. The next big event is PDC, which is our Professional Developer Conference, which is coming up at the end of October. We will be handing out CDs there to get the developers going, to let them see the great capability that we're putting into Windows, and then later next year we will be doing Beta 1, which will be a broad beta of the technology of Windows code-named Longhorn. As Bill said, there are other pieces coming in the Longhorn wave but I'm just talking about the client here." Beta 1 will not be ready by the PDC...we'll be getting a developer's preview. For those who didn't actually watch the presentation, you were able to make the separation. Unfortunately, for those who just looked at the ppt, which was poorly organized on this specific slide, it made it look like Beta 1 would be released in October. Way too early guys. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Gates Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 they should take their time. for xp the rtm had all kinds of bugs right out of the box, like right click > properties > screen saver (blue screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocks1985 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 that may be an important key for me to decide whether to get a G5 or a PC as a graduate present next year! The PDC will be an important key for me as well...If I see that longhorn comes bundled with software like mac os x, then I'll wait for longhorn to come out and buy a nice laptop/tablet in early 2004. If Apple releases a G5 15 inch powerbook by early 2004, then I might go with the g5 powerbook, instead of a windows laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokkolm Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 The picture is showing that PDC comes first, then Longhorn Beta, then Longhorn final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be waiting a long time for a G5 laptop, unless its powered by fuel cells or something :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolme Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 US $1995.00 ?! That's a BIG price for free food... Unless u can get the longhorn beta when u leave :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsgeek Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I really do think a moderator needs to change this thread title to Longhorn preview, instead of, Longhorn Beta... because Longhorn beta doesn't come out till a bit after this event. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
