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:

Longhorn Beta 1 Milestone 9 (Beta 1 M9)

March 16, 2005

Longhorn Beta 1

May 25, 2005

Longhorn Beta 2

October 12, 2005

Longhorn Client Release Candidate 0 (RC0)

February 22, 2006

Longhorn Client Release Candidate 1 (RC1)

April 2006

Longhorn Client release to manufacturing (RTM)

May 24, 2006

Longhorn Launch (widespread public availability)

Summer 2006 to October 2006, depending on release schedules for other Longhorn wave products.

Longhorn Server RTM/Longhorn Client SP1 RTM

Second half of 2006/first half of 2007 (Client RTM + 6 months)

Beta 1 is for general public BETA testers. M9 is for previous MS testers who have tested Server 2003, XP and so on so forth.

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

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

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?
