...comes Blackcomb!

I was looking through wikipedia at a load of OS stuff and i stumbled across this.

It might be BS.

Tell me what you think/know!

  • All they really state are things that happen in the pase, and it's planned release date, which is bound to change, so I don't know. I'd give it a degree more trust then normal with Windows rumors since it's Wikipedia.

    -Q
  • maybe, but one of the reasons why it could be bs is because anyone (even me) could go and add something about a version of windows that doesnt exist (for example Windows Mississippi :P )
  • and anyone else who knew better would VfD it/edit it faster then you could refresh the page. THAT'S why I tend to trust it a little more: vandalism and bad data can and generally do get removed rather fast.

    -Q
  • i suppose so... but its the 1st ive ever heard of blackcomb

    ill google it and see what i find

    WOAH, screenshots! Click here!... could be fake i dont know, it looks quite convincing

    has anyone heard of UFS (universal filesystem)? apparently it's going to use that
  • For something that's supposed to be released in 6 to 10 years I don't think they're that far along. Also, when you click on some of them it sends you to a page called "Fake Blackcomb screenshots".

    -Q
  • That is the most annoying UI I have ever seen.
  • wow, m-s is thinking ahead real fast, wonder whats after black bomb
  • Uhhh.... Wasn't Blackcomb dropped.

    Yeah, the shots are fake. No leeked builds were acquired yet.
  • They just pushed it back to be the thing that comes after LH, evidently.

    -Q
  • those really are ugly pics and they must be fake. How is it working is longhorn the tavern at the foot of blackcomb mountain?

    ps; since the mountain i think is somewhere in BC canada, maybe the next os after with be called Windows Bristish columbia or BC
  • I'm not so sure about all this .NET obsessiveness in all the fakies. Is this going to appear in LH because if it is there's no way in hell I'm going to get it (I trust .NET even less than i trust MS)!
  • http://www.windowsbeta.net/images/news/ ... ckcomb.jpg

    by the looks of that logo its fake, thats like the win2k/ME type logo
  • ms is getting very .net passport obseesive, even in xp, that f**king windows messenger pop-up about using your .net passport drives me crazy! no-one except microsoft has really taken to it though (i'm not suprised)

    Any elaboration on what .NET passport could actually do in the future (apart from convert every website to microsoft)???

  • Didn't MS quietly drop the whole .NET thing a while back? i.e.:

    Windows .NET Server -> Windows Server 2003
    Visual Studio .NET -> Visual Studio 2005
  • I think those were just codenames.

    -Q
  • All the blackcomb screenshots = bullshit.

    Some wannabee 1337 making fake n00bish screenshots in his mothers basement.


    As Tom Said, there are no builds.
