Do You Already Have "longhorn"?

[WBHoenig]

Do You already have a copy of Longhorn (any build)?

Note: This is not a request and I do not support illagel warez leaking of Longhorn.

[Madars]

Other: No I don't have Longhorn and have no will for it

[trickytwista]

[Kanel]

[harunaksoy]

Longhorn is good for your eyes

[Sunil]

i had a msdn copy, borrowed it from a friend. It was intresting, but it was an early alpha so bit buggy... tt

I am a M$ Beta tester and have just recieved my M9 Beta Copy on the 16th of this month will keep you all informed of its progress.

[UncleBuck]

When I appied they said the first beta would be due fo public release around Sept-Oct this year....

[davidmoore83]

firstly that is rubbish as i cut and paste this from an email an associate recieved 30 mins ago:

At this time the Longhorn beta program is scheduled to begin no sooner

than mid 2005.

Secondly i urge you to read my post correctly. I said beta M9. May you reference this:

I have 3 or 4 of the early builds. I gave up on it when I saw the PDC 4051 build. Some of the eye candy was just too overpowering.

[davidmoore83]

well if you will look at ALPHA copies what do you expect. It amazes me at the amount of people that claim they have seen longhorn and say its crap already. 99.99% of you here have not seen Longhorn at all you have seen an ALPHA build and that is certainly nothing to pass judgement on. ALPHA releases won't even resemble the BETA releases let alone the Final product

[pjottrr]

hello, i'm a bit new here, but also i have longhorn, and enjoyed it for about 20 minutes, because of a major bug, a mem leak in svchost, what hapens is that the usage of memory is between 150 eand 450 MB, and the total will rise up to 2.04 GB. there is also a cpu full use, so the pc works, only is full tiime busy, so if i run it, you can compare my amd athklon xp 2000+ ( 512 mb sdram) with a pentium 1 233, 32 mb sdram, and then windows xp installed or so, well you can immagine how slow that goes

iwas hoping someone knows some fixes for it , that would be very nice...

with kind regards peter huiskens ( the netherlands)

btw i have built 4074

[wout000]

i have the preview 2 from MSDN i guess it's version 4074 but i'm not sure, it's one of the latest builds

Even build 4074 is a "PRE-ALPHA" build. As in, before Alpha. Rumor has it they're working on 5xxx builds now. 4xxx builds were the new Longhorn kernel, while 5xxx are the Server 2003 SP1 codebase.

It is likely that Windows Whatever-It-Is-Going-To-Be-Called will not look like the current builds or concepts that we've seen.

Remember what the beta builds of Whistler looked like?

Yes, I had 4074, wasnt exactly a great think to have, it didnt do alot.
