Longhorn status

[BetaSith]

Its the second half of 2004, a couple of months before the beta. All waiting for a leak very soon but seing nothing but some stupid info, annyway here is it listed:

Newest builds are from the 50xx rang, MS made a jump because they based it on the Server 2003 sp1 code base. WinFS will be removed and release as a patch for it later, some new theme is coming as a combinations of plex and jade, fuatures are added and the builds from now will get the same functions as the (stripped) 4050 builds over at the PDC, cause the build labs are like a spinning weel, this time is getting main the same fuatures as lab06 in august 2003 (not PDC, cause that builds where stripped). Leaking info? Maybe, a friend of mine is maybe planning to leak 4073, who was supposed to be the WinHEC build, he upgraded later to 4074, but he was thinking why was'nt it the WinHEC build, Microsoft would'nt skip that one because it was one older. No! Maybe because there where some fuatures in it that shouldn't be there, so there is maybe a point leaking this build. I have the buildnumber and a shot, maybe uploading later.

Buildnumber 4073: 4073.idx02.040420-1832

Good luck, and expect more news soon.

You can download it legitimately from the Microsoft website for a nominal charge, I expect.

This is with regard to a post (deleted now, though) asking for longhorn download:

READ THE BLURB AT TOP OF THIS PAGE. It says do not ask for warez, or for places to download it from.

This warning has been given innumerable times, so direct action will be taken. Updates on status, like the post of Betasith, are not considered as breaking rules. But posts asking for download, will be INSTANTLY DELETED, without apologies.
