First version looks decent, nice customization. Will this OS be 64 bit?

Thats what i was going to say.

Bad design. I was hoping for something a bit more revolutionary. But i guess you cant leave all those non computer smart windows users in the dark.

I was actually somewhat interested in this before.

i guess we\'ll see how things turn out.

Post by: Lord Nicon on October 07, 2004, 11:31:52 AM: Thats what i was hoping/thinking. It almost seems stupid to assume that they were official. The other pics seems a lot more reassuring but there is still a dearth in innovation from the layout department.

What is longhorn supposed to bring to the table that xp hasnt?

Post by: JP on October 07, 2004, 12:40:04 PM: Take a look at some of the vids they have of longhorn at that site, also read some of the articles there. It should answer most if not all of your questions.
